Lists all knowledge base documents for the current tenant. Returns document id, name, type, status, chunks count, and file size.
AI agents call list_knowledge_documents 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 and displays metadata about existing knowledge documents without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation scoped to the current tenant's knowledge base. Low severity because the blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure of document metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_knowledge_documents' and description states it 'Lists all knowledge base documents' — a retrieval operation with 'Returns document id, name, type, status, chunks count, and file size' indicating read-only query behavior with no side effects.

Register the BotUyo MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_knowledge_documents: 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_knowledge_documents 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_knowledge_documents 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_knowledge_documents. 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_knowledge_documents is provided by the BotUyo MCP Server MCP server (marcoar1/botuyo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
