Why aat_list_scenarios needs a policy

This tool performs a directory listing operation to query and retrieve information about scenario files. It does not modify, delete, execute, or create any data—it only reads and presents existing file metadata. The operation is passive and non-destructive, making it a Read category tool with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'aat_list_scenarios' and description 'List YAML scenario files in the current directory' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

How to control aat_list_scenarios

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AWT (AI Watch Tester), and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for aat_list_scenarios:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "aat_list_scenarios": {}
  }
}

aat_list_scenarios is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register AWT (AI Watch Tester) — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
