What list_endpoints does on Rootly

AI agents call list_endpoints to retrieve information from Rootly without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_endpoints needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves information about available API endpoints. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute operations, and does not delete or move resources. It is a straightforward informational read operation with minimal security impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_endpoints' and description 'List all available Rootly API endpoints with their descriptions' indicate retrieval of metadata about available API endpoints with no modification or execution of operations.

How to control list_endpoints

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Rootly, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_endpoints:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_endpoints": {}
  }
}

list_endpoints is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Rootly — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
