AI agents call list-users to retrieve information from Rabbitmq without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries user data from RabbitMQ without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read-only action that has minimal impact even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes user information that would typically be accessible to an authenticated administrator.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list-users' and description states 'List all users in the RabbitMQ cluster.' The verb 'list' is a retrieval operation with no side effects.

List all users in the RabbitMQ cluster. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Rabbitmq MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Rabbitmq MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list-users: 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 Rabbitmq. Nothing to install.
list-users 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-users 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-users. 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-users is provided by the Rabbitmq MCP server (rabbitmq-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
