# manage_tools Dynamic MCP tool management. List canonical tools, view category counts, and enable/disable tools or categories at runtime. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `manage_tools`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/manage-tools ## Facts - Tool: `manage_tools` - Server: Aos (`@hybridlabor-api/aos`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos.md - Install: `npx -y @hybridlabor-api/aos` - Homepage: git+https://github.com/hybridlabor-api/aos.git - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "manage_tools", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why manage_tools is rated High This tool modifies the runtime configuration of the MCP server itself by enabling or disabling tools and categories. While it also has read aspects (list, view counts), the dominant and most severe capability is the ability to alter which tools are active at runtime, which is an operational execution-level action. Misuse could disable security-critical tools or enable dangerous ones, making severity high. From the tool's own definition: "'enable/disable tools or categories at runtime' — dynamically alters which tools are available and active during execution" ## Use case AI agents invoke manage_tools to trigger actions in Aos. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Aos: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "manage_tools": { "limits": [ { "counter": "manage_tools_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 10, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Aos (718) - `archive_project` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/archive-project.md - `clear_clip_flags` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/clear-clip-flags.md - `clear_layer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/clear-layer.md - `close_window` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/close-window.md - `delete_clip_markers` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-clip-markers.md - `delete_color_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-color-group.md - `delete_color_version` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-color-version.md - `delete_face` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-face.md - `delete_fusion_comp_on_clip` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-fusion-comp-on-clip.md - `delete_layer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-layer.md - `delete_markers` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-markers.md - `delete_media_pool_clips` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-media-pool-clips.md - `delete_objects` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-objects.md - `delete_project` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-project.md - `delete_render_job` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-render-job.md - `delete_stills` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-stills.md - `delete_take` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-take.md - `delete_td_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-td-node.md - `delete_timeline_clips` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-timeline-clips.md - `delete_track` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/delete-track.md - `manage_checkpoint` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/manage-checkpoint.md - `remoteos_manage_instance` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/remoteos-manage-instance.md - `remove_background_clip` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/remove-background-clip.md - `repair_network` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/repair-network.md - `reset_all_grades` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/reset-all-grades.md - `unlink_media_pool_clips` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/unlink-media-pool-clips.md - `add_render_job` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/add-render-job.md - `ae_render_active_comp` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/ae-render-active-comp.md - `apply_glsl_top_mapping` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/apply-glsl-top-mapping.md - `apply_transform` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos/apply-transform.md - …and 688 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/hybridlabor-api-aos.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
