workflows-runs-list
AI agents call workflows-runs-list to retrieve information from MCP Search Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears to retrieve or query a list of workflow run data without side effects. Despite an empty description, the name pattern 'list' clearly indicates data retrieval rather than creation, modification, or deletion. The confidence is reduced slightly due to the missing description, but the naming is sufficiently clear to categorize this as a Read operation with low risk of misuse.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'workflows-runs-list' indicates listing/querying workflow runs with no modification capability. Naming convention and function context within a workflow management system suggest read-only retrieval.

workflows-runs-list. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Search Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Search Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for workflows-runs-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 MCP Search Server. Nothing to install.
workflows-runs-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 workflows-runs-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 workflows-runs-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.
workflows-runs-list is provided by the MCP Search Server MCP server (nghiauet/mcp-agent). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
