Get a list of all available tools on this server.
AI agents call get_server_tools to retrieve information from Zillow MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a metadata query operation that returns information about the server's capabilities. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not irreversibly delete anything. It is purely informational and falls squarely within the Read category. Severity is low because misuse (repeatedly calling it) poses minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_server_tools' and description 'Get a list of all available tools on this server' indicate a retrieval operation that enumerates available functionality without modifying, executing, or deleting any data.

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