List widget templates with optional filtering by visualization type and category
AI agents call list_widget_templates to retrieve information from RAD Security without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation to list and filter widget templates. It retrieves data for dashboard/UI visualization purposes with no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no resource deletion. The optional filtering parameters are standard query parameters that do not change the read-only nature of the operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_widget_templates' and description 'List widget templates with optional filtering by visualization type and category' indicate a query operation that retrieves template data without modification or execution.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_widget_templates gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and RAD Security, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_widget_templates:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_widget_templates": {}
}
}list_widget_templates is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List widget templates with optional filtering by visualization type and category. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RAD Security MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RAD Security MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_widget_templates: 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 RAD Security. Nothing to install.
list_widget_templates 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_widget_templates 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_widget_templates. 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_widget_templates is provided by the RAD Security MCP server (rad-security/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from RAD Security, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
