List assets configured in the current Orchestrator folder.
AI agents call list_assets to retrieve information from UiPath 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 asset information from UiPath Orchestrator without making any changes to the assets, jobs, processes, or other resources. It is a read-only operation that has no side effects, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_assets' and description 'List assets configured in the current Orchestrator folder' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List assets configured in the current Orchestrator folder. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UiPath MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the UiPath MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_assets: 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 UiPath MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_assets 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_assets 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_assets. 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.
list_assets is provided by the UiPath MCP Server MCP server (lokimcpuniverse/uipath-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
