Read-only list of MCP prompts bundled with the server for clients that do not expose prompt discovery natively. Use when the user asks what workflows are available; returns prompt names, descriptions, arguments, and total count.
AI agents call list_prompts to retrieve information from Ableton Mind without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a simple metadata query that enumerates available workflows. It performs no writes, executes no code, deletes nothing, and involves no financial operations. The read-only nature and informational purpose place it firmly in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_prompts' and description explicitly states 'Read-only list' — retrieves metadata about available prompts with no side effects (returns 'prompt names, descriptions, arguments, and total count').

Read-only list of MCP prompts bundled with the server for clients that do not expose prompt discovery natively. Use when the user asks what workflows are available; returns prompt names, descriptions, arguments, and total count. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ableton Mind MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ableton Mind MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_prompts: 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 Ableton Mind. Nothing to install.
list_prompts 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 list_prompts 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 list_prompts. 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.
list_prompts is provided by the Ableton Mind MCP server (ableton-mind). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
