List all point groups (named collections of plants/weeds/points). Point groups are used as targets for sequences and regimens — e.g.
AI agents call farmbot_list_point_groups to retrieve information from Farmbot Agent without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries existing point group data with no side effects, creation, modification, deletion, or execution of commands. It is a straightforward read operation on the FarmBot system's configuration data.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List all point groups'. Returns data about existing point group collections without modification or execution.

List all point groups (named collections of plants/weeds/points). Point groups are used as targets for sequences and regimens — e.g. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Farmbot Agent MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Farmbot Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for farmbot_list_point_groups: 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 Farmbot Agent. Nothing to install.
farmbot_list_point_groups 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 farmbot_list_point_groups 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 farmbot_list_point_groups. 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.
farmbot_list_point_groups is provided by the Farmbot Agent MCP server (kieranklaassen/farmbot-agent-cli-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
