List all TV devices with their configurations and connection status.
AI agents call list_tv_devices to retrieve information from Smart Home Control MCP Server 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 information about TV devices without modifying, deleting, or triggering any control actions. It is a read-only operation that retrieves and displays configuration and status data. The blast radius is minimal since misuse only exposes device information without enabling control or changes to system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_tv_devices' and description states it 'List[s] all TV devices with their configurations and connection status' — a pure retrieval operation with no side effects, similar to 'get' or 'list' patterns.

Register the Smart Home Control MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_tv_devices: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Smart Home Control MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_tv_devices 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 list_tv_devices 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_tv_devices. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
list_tv_devices is provided by the Smart Home Control MCP Server MCP server (surya443/smart-home-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
