list_roles
AI agents call list_roles 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 'list_roles' tool follows the naming pattern of other retrieval tools in this server (get_*, list_*) which perform queries without side effects. Listing roles is a read operation that queries security configuration data without modifying or deleting anything.

list_roles. 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_roles: 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_roles 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_roles 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_roles. 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_roles 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.
