What managed_agent_list does on Claude Flow

AI agents call managed_agent_list to retrieve information from Claude Flow without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why managed_agent_list needs a policy

This is a read-only operation that queries and returns metadata about existing cloud-agent sessions. While the information revealed (billing status, running sessions) could be sensitive, the tool itself performs no destructive, modifying, or executing actions—it only retrieves and displays state.

From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states it 'List[s] managed cloud-agent sessions' and retrieves information about 'id, status, title' with no modification capabilities.

Questions about managed_agent_list

What does the managed_agent_list tool do? +

List managed cloud-agent sessions on this Anthropic org (id, status, title) — the CLOUD counterpart of wasm_agent_list. Use when native conversation memory is wrong because you need to see which cloud sessions exist (and which are still running / billing) across turns. For local WASM agents use wasm_agent_list. Pair with managed_agent_terminate to clean up idle sessions. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude Flow MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on managed_agent_list? +

Register the Claude Flow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for managed_agent_list: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Claude Flow. Nothing to install.

What risk level is managed_agent_list? +

managed_agent_list is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit managed_agent_list? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the managed_agent_list rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block managed_agent_list completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for managed_agent_list. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides managed_agent_list? +

managed_agent_list is provided by the Claude Flow MCP server (claude-flow). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
