List all agent families (one logical agent = shared base config + variants) for the current tenant.
AI agents call list_agent_families to retrieve information from BotUyo 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 information about agent families without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or committing financial transactions. It is a pure data retrieval operation with no side effects. The low severity reflects that listing configuration metadata poses minimal risk even if exposed to an AI agent, as it only exposes existing agent family information for the current tenant.
From the tool's definition The tool name is 'list_agent_families' and the description states it 'List all agent families'. The verb 'list' and the action of retrieving/querying data without modification are characteristic of a Read operation.

Register the BotUyo MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_agent_families: 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 BotUyo MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_agent_families 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_agent_families 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.
