List groups within a Birst space. Space groups control user permissions within the space.
AI agents call birst_list_space_groups to retrieve information from Infor Birst 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 information about space groups and their permission structures without modifying, executing operations, or causing side effects. It is a read-only query operation that enables visibility into existing access controls. Severity is low because reading group and permission metadata poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent—it does not alter data, execute code, or create financial obligations.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'list' and description states 'List groups within a Birst space' with focus on querying/retrieving existing group information for permission visibility.

Register the Infor Birst MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for birst_list_space_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 Infor Birst MCP Server. Nothing to install.
birst_list_space_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 birst_list_space_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 birst_list_space_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.
birst_list_space_groups is provided by the Infor Birst MCP Server MCP server (mikahdev/infor-birst-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
