List all Architecture Decision Records for a project. Optional status filter (proposed | accepted | deprecated | superseded). Returns ADR-###, title, status, decided_at.
AI agents call adr_list to retrieve information from DevFlow MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves existing ADR metadata without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk since misuse would only expose documentation already stored in the system.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List[s] all Architecture Decision Records' and 'Returns ADR-###, title, status, decided_at' — this is a retrieval operation with no side effects. The optional status filter is a query parameter, not a modification mechanism.

List all Architecture Decision Records for a project. Optional status filter (proposed | accepted | deprecated | superseded). Returns ADR-###, title, status, decided_at. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DevFlow MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the DevFlow MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for adr_list: 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 DevFlow MCP Server. Nothing to install.
adr_list 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 adr_list 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 adr_list. 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.
adr_list is provided by the DevFlow MCP Server MCP server (klausfreiberufler/devflow-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
adr_list is one line of DevFlow 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.
