List operational locations for a site with optional hierarchy filtering.
AI agents call list_locations to retrieve information from Maximo Enterprise MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation that queries and returns location information. There are no side effects, data modifications, deletions, financial impacts, or code execution involved. The optional hierarchy filtering is still a retrieval parameter, not a mutation. This is a straightforward data retrieval operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_locations' and description 'List operational locations for a site with optional hierarchy filtering' indicate a query operation that retrieves and displays location data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List operational locations for a site with optional hierarchy filtering. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Maximo Enterprise MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Maximo Enterprise MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_locations: 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 Maximo Enterprise MCP. Nothing to install.
list_locations 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_locations 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_locations. 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_locations is provided by the Maximo Enterprise MCP server (maximo-enterprise-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
