AI agents call tm_list_profiles to retrieve information from Tm without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool appears to retrieve or enumerate existing profiles without modifying data. The 'list' operation is fundamentally a Read action with no side effects. Although the description is empty, the tool name and naming pattern on the server provide sufficient confidence that this is a retrieval operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'tm_list_profiles' indicates a query/list operation that retrieves profile information. The pattern matches other Read operations like 'tm_get_profile' and 'tm_get_run' on the same server. No mutative keywords (create, delete, update) are present.

Register the Tm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tm_list_profiles: 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 Tm. Nothing to install.
tm_list_profiles 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 tm_list_profiles 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 tm_list_profiles. 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.
tm_list_profiles is provided by the Tm MCP server (trafficmorph-gif/tm-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
