List all WhatsApp groups you're a member of. Args: instance_name. Returns: groups with member counts.
AI agents call list_all_groups to retrieve information from Automagik Tools 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 WhatsApp group membership data without modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It has minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing it would only enumerate group information already accessible to the authenticated user. No side effects, no irreversible changes, no financial impact, no code execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_all_groups' and description states 'List all WhatsApp groups' — a retrieval operation with no data modification, deletion, or execution of external actions. Returns groups with member counts, indicating a read-only query.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_all_groups gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Automagik Tools, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_all_groups:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_all_groups": {}
}
}list_all_groups is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all WhatsApp groups you're a member of. Args: instance_name. Returns: groups with member counts. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Automagik Tools MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Automagik Tools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_all_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 Automagik Tools. Nothing to install.
list_all_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 list_all_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 list_all_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.
list_all_groups is provided by the Automagik Tools MCP server (namastexlabs/automagik-tools). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Automagik Tools, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
