AI agents call goclaw_cron_list to retrieve information from GoClaw 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 cron job configurations without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a read-only operation with minimal security risk—the main concern would be information disclosure if cron jobs contain sensitive configuration details, but listing itself causes no damage.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'goclaw_cron_list' and description 'List all cron jobs in GoClaw' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no mutation or side effects.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and GoClaw MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for goclaw_cron_list:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"goclaw_cron_list": {}
}
}goclaw_cron_list is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all cron jobs in GoClaw. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GoClaw MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the GoClaw MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for goclaw_cron_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 GoClaw MCP Server. Nothing to install.
goclaw_cron_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 goclaw_cron_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 goclaw_cron_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.
goclaw_cron_list is provided by the GoClaw MCP Server MCP server (nextlevelbuilder/goclaw-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from GoClaw MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
