List configured root folders and storage information
AI agents call root_folders to retrieve information from FlixBridge 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 configuration data about storage locations without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation that returns informational state about the system.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'root_folders' and description 'List configured root folders and storage information' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

List configured root folders and storage information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FlixBridge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the FlixBridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for root_folders: 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 FlixBridge. Nothing to install.
root_folders 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 root_folders 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 root_folders. 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.
root_folders is provided by the FlixBridge MCP server (thesammykins/flixbridge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
