WHAT IT DOES

What list_available_agents does on Automagik Tools

AI agents call list_available_agents to retrieve information from Automagik Tools without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list_available_agents is rated Low

This tool queries and returns information about available agents without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any external operations. It has minimal blast radius: even if an AI agent calls it repeatedly, it only retrieves metadata. No data is altered, no commands are executed, and no financial or destructive consequences are possible.

From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states 'List all available agents' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. The verb 'list' is a canonical read operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_available_agents safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Automagik Tools, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_available_agents, this is the rule to start with:

list_available_agents Allowed

list_available_agents is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
