List all admin tokens (operator and named admin tokens) with optional filtering by token name (Core/Enterprise only). Named admin tokens have full administrative access including resource token management.
AI agents call list_admin_tokens to retrieve information from InfluxDB MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays existing admin tokens but does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. However, the severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because listing admin tokens exposes sensitive authentication credentials that could be leveraged for unauthorized access if leaked, making the blast radius of misuse significant despite the tool itself being read-only.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_admin_tokens' and description 'List all admin tokens' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no data modification, deletion, or execution capability.

List all admin tokens (operator and named admin tokens) with optional filtering by token name (Core/Enterprise only). Named admin tokens have full administrative access including resource token management. It is categorised as a Read tool in the InfluxDB MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the InfluxDB MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_admin_tokens: 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 InfluxDB MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_admin_tokens 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_admin_tokens 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_admin_tokens. 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_admin_tokens is provided by the InfluxDB MCP Server MCP server (quorralyne/mcp_test_server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
