What query does on OpenRemote MCP Server

AI agents call query to retrieve information from OpenRemote MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why query needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves asset data without any side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The narrow scope (listing assets only) and read-only nature warrant 'low' severity—even if misused by an AI agent, it can only expose existing data, not modify or destroy it.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'query' and description 'Lists all assets available' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion. The verb 'lists' confirms read-only behavior.

Questions about query

What does the query tool do? +

Lists all assets available. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OpenRemote MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on query? +

Register the OpenRemote MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for query: 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 OpenRemote MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is query? +

query is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit query? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the query 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.

How do I block query completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for query. 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.

What MCP server provides query? +

query is provided by the OpenRemote MCP Server MCP server (openremote/service-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
