list_icons
AI agents call list_icons to retrieve information from AWS Diagram MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears to query or enumerate available AWS diagram icons without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. No side effects or resource impact. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention strongly suggests a read-only retrieval operation consistent with the server's diagram visualization purpose.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_icons' indicates a listing/retrieval operation. Given the server context of AWS diagram generation, this tool likely retrieves available icon options from the diagrams package.

list_icons. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AWS Diagram MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AWS Diagram MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_icons: 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 AWS Diagram MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_icons 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_icons 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_icons. 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_icons is provided by the AWS Diagram MCP Server MCP server (lukeburciu/aws-diagrams-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
