List all saved sequences on the FarmBot. Returns sequence names, IDs, and metadata. Use the ID with farmbot_run_sequence to execute one.
AI agents call farmbot_list_sequences 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 displays existing sequence information from the FarmBot without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is purely informational, supporting discovery of available sequences. While sequences themselves can trigger hardware actions when executed, merely listing them has no side effects. Misuse would result in information disclosure at most, posing minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it "List[s] all saved sequences" and "Returns sequence names, IDs, and metadata." The verb "list" and action of retrieving metadata without modification indicates a read-only query operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all saved sequences on the FarmBot. Returns sequence names, IDs, and metadata. Use the ID with farmbot_run_sequence to execute one. 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_sequences: 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_sequences 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_sequences 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_sequences. 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_sequences 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.
