List all Maximo security groups with member counts. Requires admin role.
AI agents call list_security_groups 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 is a read operation that queries security group information from the Maximo system. While severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' due to the sensitive nature of security group enumeration (which could aid reconnaissance for privilege escalation attacks) and the admin role requirement suggesting access to privileged data, the tool itself performs no side effects, no data modification, and no…
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List all Maximo security groups' — a query operation that retrieves and enumerates security group data. No modification, deletion, or execution is described.

List all Maximo security groups with member counts. Requires admin role. 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_security_groups: 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_security_groups 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_security_groups 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_security_groups. 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_security_groups 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.
