resources_list_apps
AI agents call resources_list_apps to retrieve information from CyPerf MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name structure follows the read pattern (verb: list, object: apps). 'List' operations retrieve data without side effects. Sibling tools like 'agents_list' and 'agents_get' confirm the server exposes read operations for querying state. With no description provided, confidence is moderate but the name alone indicates read-only behavior with no destructive, financial, or code execution capability.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'resources_list_apps' indicates a listing/retrieval operation. The 'list' verb strongly suggests querying or enumerating applications without modification. Description is empty, reducing confidence slightly.

Register the CyPerf MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for resources_list_apps: 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 CyPerf MCP Server. Nothing to install.
resources_list_apps 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 resources_list_apps 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 resources_list_apps. 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.
resources_list_apps is provided by the CyPerf MCP Server MCP server (keysight/cyperf-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
resources_list_apps is one line of CyPerf MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
