list_security_rules
AI agents call list_security_rules to retrieve information from Chronicle SecOps MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool lists existing security rules without modifying, creating, or deleting them. Listing is a non-destructive read operation. The empty description and context from sibling tools support classification as Read. Severity is low because unauthorized rule enumeration has limited blast radius compared to other security categories.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_security_rules' indicates a listing operation. Sibling tools (get_ioc_matches, get_security_alerts, lookup_entity, search_security_events) are all read-only queries.
