Returns a list of policy rules of a policy.
AI agents call list-policy-rules to retrieve information from Openfort MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves existing policy rule data without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward read operation that returns information about policy rules. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—retrieving policy configuration details poses no immediate operational risk even if queried exhaustively by a rogue agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-policy-rules' and description 'Returns a list of policy rules of a policy' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
