List all job templates available in Ansible Automation Platform.

How to control list_job_templates ↓

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

Low Risk

This tool performs a read-only operation that retrieves and displays existing job templates. It does not create, modify, delete, execute, or trigger any actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could gather information about available templates but cannot alter infrastructure or commit resources.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_job_templates' and description 'List all job templates available in Ansible Automation Platform' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_job_templates gives an agent:

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

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

list_job_templates 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 AAP Enterprise MCP Server — 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.
