What access_list_schedules does on UniFi Access MCP
AI agents call access_list_schedules to retrieve information from UniFi Access MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why access_list_schedules is rated Low
This tool performs a read-only query to retrieve a list of access schedules. It has no side effects, does not execute any operations, and does not modify data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker would gain knowledge of schedule configurations but cannot directly alter access controls or trigger any external actions. This falls squarely into the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'access_list_schedules' and description 'Lists all access schedules configured on the Access controller' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs access_list_schedules safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UniFi Access MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For access_list_schedules, this is the rule to start with:
access_list_schedules is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect UniFi Access MCP, apply this rule, and every access_list_schedules call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about access_list_schedules
Lists all access schedules configured on the Access controller. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UniFi Access MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the UniFi Access MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for access_list_schedules: 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 UniFi Access MCP. Nothing to install.
access_list_schedules is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the access_list_schedules 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for access_list_schedules. 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.
access_list_schedules is provided by the UniFi Access MCP server (pypi:unifi-protect-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
