awx_list_inventories

List all AWX inventories

Part of the Pypi:awx server.

awx_list_inventories is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call awx_list_inventories to retrieve information from Pypi:awx without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though awx_list_inventories only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so awx_list_inventories only ever does what you allow.

What does the awx_list_inventories tool do? +

List all AWX inventories. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pypi:awx MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on awx_list_inventories? +

Register the Pypi:awx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for awx_list_inventories: 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 Pypi:awx. Nothing to install.

What risk level is awx_list_inventories? +

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

Can I rate-limit awx_list_inventories? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the awx_list_inventories 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 awx_list_inventories completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for awx_list_inventories. 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 awx_list_inventories? +

awx_list_inventories is provided by the Pypi:awx MCP server (SurgeX-Labs/awx-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Pypi:awx tool call.
