# protect_list_cameras List all cameras. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `protect_list_cameras`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-list-cameras ## Facts - Tool: `protect_list_cameras` - Server: UniFi Access MCP (`pypi:unifi-protect-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y pypi:unifi-protect-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/sirkirby/unifi-mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "protect_list_cameras", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why protect_list_cameras is rated Low This tool retrieves camera information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a simple data query that provides visibility into connected cameras within the UniFi Access system. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could enumerate cameras but cannot alter access controls, delete records, or trigger unauthorized actions. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'protect_list_cameras' with description 'List all cameras' indicates a query/retrieval operation with no side effects." ## Use case AI agents call protect_list_cameras 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches UniFi Access MCP: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "protect_list_cameras": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on UniFi Access MCP (271) - `access_delete_visitor` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/access-delete-visitor.md - `access_revoke_credential` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/access-revoke-credential.md - `protect_alarm_delete_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-alarm-delete-rule.md - `protect_delete_known_face` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-delete-known-face.md - `protect_delete_known_license_plate` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-delete-known-license-plate.md - `protect_delete_liveview` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-delete-liveview.md - `protect_delete_recording` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-delete-recording.md - `unifi_delete_acl_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-acl-rule.md - `unifi_delete_ap_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-ap-group.md - `unifi_delete_backup` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-backup.md - `unifi_delete_client_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-client-group.md - `unifi_delete_content_filter` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-content-filter.md - `unifi_delete_dns_record` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-dns-record.md - `unifi_delete_dynamic_dns` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-dynamic-dns.md - `unifi_delete_firewall_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-firewall-group.md - `unifi_delete_firewall_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-firewall-policy.md - `unifi_delete_oon_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-oon-policy.md - `unifi_delete_port_forward` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-port-forward.md - `unifi_delete_port_profile` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-port-profile.md - `unifi_delete_wlan` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-wlan.md - `unifi_forget_client` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-forget-client.md - `unifi_revoke_voucher` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-revoke-voucher.md - `unifi_unauthorize_guest` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-unauthorize-guest.md - `access_lock_door` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/access-lock-door.md - `access_reboot_device` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/access-reboot-device.md - `access_unlock_door` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/access-unlock-door.md - `protect_ptz_move` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-ptz-move.md - `protect_ptz_preset` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-ptz-preset.md - `protect_reboot_camera` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-reboot-camera.md - `protect_trigger_chime` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-trigger-chime.md - …and 241 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
