List common robot types with characteristics, use cases, and recommended frameworks. Categories: mobile, manipulator, aerial, specialized.
AI agents call list_robot_types to retrieve information from Roba Labs MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool only retrieves and presents informational content about robot types and their properties. It is purely informational with no side effects, API calls, code execution, or data modification.
From the tool's definition Tool description indicates it 'List[s] common robot types with characteristics, use cases, and recommended frameworks' — a data retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List common robot types with characteristics, use cases, and recommended frameworks. Categories: mobile, manipulator, aerial, specialized. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Roba Labs MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Roba Labs MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_robot_types: 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 Roba Labs MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_robot_types 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_robot_types 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_robot_types. 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_robot_types is provided by the Roba Labs MCP Server MCP server (tairon-ai/roba-labs-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
