List UiPath robots registered in the Orchestrator tenant.
AI agents call list_robots 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 retrieves and queries information about registered robots without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward inventory/discovery function with minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_robots' and description states 'List UiPath robots registered in the Orchestrator tenant.' The verb 'list' indicates a read-only query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List UiPath robots registered in the Orchestrator tenant. 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_robots: 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_robots 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_robots 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_robots. 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_robots 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.
