list_policies
AI agents call list_policies to retrieve information from Wazuh MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name 'list_policies' combined with the sibling tools that predominantly perform read operations (get_* and count operations) indicates this is a query/retrieval operation. No description is provided, which lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention and context of a security monitoring platform clearly indicate policy enumeration rather than creation, modification, or deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_policies' indicates a retrieval/query operation. The pattern of sibling tools (get_active_configuration, get_agent_component_stats, get_agent_daemon_stats, etc.) on a security monitoring/analysis platform strongly suggests this lists existing…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
list_policies. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Wazuh MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Wazuh MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_policies: 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 Wazuh MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_policies 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_policies 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_policies. 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_policies is provided by the Wazuh MCP Server MCP server (rayasatriatama/wazuh-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
