AI agents call redmine_list_files to retrieve information from Redmine without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves file metadata from a Redmine project without any side effects. It is a pure read operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The alpha designation does not change the security classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list', description states 'List all files' and 'Returns file metadata' — retrieval only with no modification or deletion.

[Alpha] List all files in a Redmine project. Returns file metadata including name, size, type, author, and download URL. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Redmine MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Redmine MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for redmine_list_files: 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 Redmine. Nothing to install.
redmine_list_files 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 redmine_list_files 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 redmine_list_files. 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.
redmine_list_files is provided by the Redmine MCP server (jesusr00/mcp-server-redmine). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
