AI agents call ListWindowsArtifactsTool to retrieve information from Velociraptor 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 displays information about available artifacts in Velociraptor without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is purely informational—listing artifact names, descriptions, and parameters. While it operates within a DFIR platform, the tool itself performs no forensic collection, code execution, or data modification.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'returns a summary of all Windows client artifacts' and 'List available Windows artifacts'. The verb 'List' and the action of returning metadata about available artifacts indicate a read-only query operation with no side effects.

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

A Path glob is performant, and path regex is useful to specifically filter locations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Velociraptor MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
