List documents
AI agents call document_list to retrieve information from Anythingllm without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates existing documents without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a standard read operation with minimal security risk unless the documents themselves contain highly sensitive data, but the tool action itself is passive.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'document_list' with description 'List documents'. The verb 'List' indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects.

Register the Anythingllm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for document_list: 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 Anythingllm. Nothing to install.
document_list 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 document_list 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 document_list. 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.
document_list is provided by the Anythingllm MCP server (moliver28/anythingllm-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
