List all sites the API key has access to. Returns: id (the siteId every other tool requires), internalReference, name. Use for: first call in any workflow — almost every other tool needs a siteId.
AI agents call unifi_list_sites to retrieve information from UniFi Network MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool purely retrieves site information without creating, modifying, or deleting any resources. While the information returned includes site identifiers used by other tools, the tool itself has no side effects and does not change system state. It is clearly a read/query operation.
From the tool's definition unifi_list_sites returns metadata about sites (id, internalReference, name) with no modification or side effects. The description explicitly states it 'List all sites' and is used for 'first call in any workflow' to retrieve necessary identifiers.

List all sites the API key has access to. Returns: id (the siteId every other tool requires), internalReference, name. Use for: first call in any workflow — almost every other tool needs a siteId. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UniFi Network MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the UniFi Network MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unifi_list_sites: 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 UniFi Network MCP Server. Nothing to install.
unifi_list_sites 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 unifi_list_sites 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 unifi_list_sites. 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.
unifi_list_sites is provided by the UniFi Network MCP Server MCP server (owine/unifi-network-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
