List Dynatrace Automation (Workflows) workflows via the platform Automation v1 API.
AI agents call list_workflows to retrieve information from Dynatrace SaaS 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 and displays existing workflow configurations from Dynatrace. It has no capability to modify, delete, execute, or create workflows—only to enumerate and view them. Misuse by an AI agent would be limited to information disclosure, which poses minimal risk in the context of observability platform access.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_workflows' and description 'List Dynatrace Automation (Workflows) workflows' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' is a classic read-only action.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List Dynatrace Automation (Workflows) workflows via the platform Automation v1 API. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_workflows: 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 Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_workflows 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_workflows 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_workflows. 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_workflows is provided by the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP server (mnmozi/dynatrace-mcp-saas). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
