List MCP servers currently registered in obot. Returns id, name, runtime, configured-state, and the connectURL you
AI agents call list_mcp_servers to retrieve information from Obot Admin without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns information about registered MCP servers without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a standard read operation with minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing it could only enumerate available servers, which poses no security risk beyond information disclosure of already-registered services.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_mcp_servers' and description 'List MCP servers currently registered in obot. Returns id, name, runtime, configured-state, and the connectURL' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Register the Obot Admin MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_mcp_servers: 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 Obot Admin. Nothing to install.
list_mcp_servers 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 list_mcp_servers 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 list_mcp_servers. 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.
