List jobs, optionally filtered by state.
AI agents call list_jobs 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 job data from UiPath Orchestrator Cloud API without creating, modifying, deleting, executing, or moving money. It is a pure data retrieval operation with read-only semantics. Misuse by an AI agent would at worst expose job metadata, which is low-severity information disclosure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_jobs' and description 'List jobs, optionally filtered by state' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' is explicitly a Read category action.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List jobs, optionally filtered by state. 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_jobs: 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_jobs 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_jobs 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_jobs. 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_jobs 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.
