AI agents call sprout_list_customers to retrieve information from Sprout without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a list of customer identifiers and names. It performs data retrieval only, with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The limited scope (IDs and names only) and read-only nature justify low severity. Confidence is high because the intent is unambiguous from both name and description.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List customer IDs and names' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

sprout_list_customers is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sprout_list_customers rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
