list_chat_rules
AI agents call list_chat_rules to retrieve information from RunWhen Platform MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or enumerates chat rules from the RunWhen platform workspace. It has no side effects—it only queries and returns data. The absence of a description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention clearly suggests a read operation. Compared to sibling tools like 'create_chat_rule' or 'delete_chat_rule' (which modify state), this is purely informational.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_chat_rules' indicates a retrieval operation that lists existing chat rules without modification. The 'list' prefix conventionally denotes read-only querying.
