List all registered drones with last backup date and status
AI agents call fleet_list_drones to retrieve information from Betaflight MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple enumeration/list operation returning metadata about registered drones. It has no capability to modify, delete, execute commands, or trigger external actions. The information returned (drone names, backup dates, status) is informational only. Misuse by an AI agent would be limited to potential information disclosure, which is a low-severity read risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'fleet_list_drones' and description 'List all registered drones with last backup date and status' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves and displays existing data without modification or side effects.

fleet_list_drones 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 fleet_list_drones 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.
