List all available ArchiMate 3.2 element types with their layers
AI agents call list_archimate_elements to retrieve information from ArchiMate MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and presents informational data about ArchiMate element types and their architectural layers. It has no side effects, does not modify any diagrams or models, and does not execute operations. It is a straightforward informational query, making it a Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List all available ArchiMate 3.2 element types' — a clear query operation that retrieves metadata about available element types without modifying any data.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and ArchiMate MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_archimate_elements:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_archimate_elements": {}
}
}list_archimate_elements is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
