What device_list does on Uefn

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

Why device_list needs a policy

This tool only queries and retrieves metadata about device actors in the level—their types and locations. It performs no side effects, does not create, modify, or delete data, and does not execute operations. This is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk even if misused by an agent, as it merely exposes information already visible in the editor.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description: 'List all Verse/Creative device actors in the current level with their types and locations.' The verb 'list' and the action of retrieving information about existing actors with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.

How to control device_list

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Uefn, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for device_list:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "device_list": {}
  }
}

device_list is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Uefn — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
