List all configured policies. Policies are pre-defined execution patterns with model selection, fallbacks, and cost controls. Returns policy IDs, models, and configuration flags.
AI agents call relay_policies_list to retrieve information from RelayPlane without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a query/list operation to retrieve metadata about policies (policy IDs, models, configuration flags). It has no side effects, does not execute code, modify data, delete anything, or commit financial obligations. The function is purely informational, making it a Read category tool with low severity since policy metadata is non-sensitive operational configuration.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'relay_policies_list' and description 'List all configured policies' explicitly indicates a read-only operation that retrieves and returns policy configuration data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all configured policies. Policies are pre-defined execution patterns with model selection, fallbacks, and cost controls. Returns policy IDs, models, and configuration flags. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RelayPlane MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RelayPlane MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for relay_policies_list: 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 RelayPlane. Nothing to install.
relay_policies_list 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 relay_policies_list 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 relay_policies_list. 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.
relay_policies_list is provided by the RelayPlane MCP server (relayplane/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
