What list_users does on Maximo Enterprise MCP

AI agents call list_users 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.

Why list_users needs a policy

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_users' and description 'List Maximo user records' clearly indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
