Retrieve list of channels
AI agents call swit-channel-list to retrieve information from Swit MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a straightforward data retrieval operation—listing channels in a Swit workspace. It has no capability to modify, delete, or execute actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an agent could only enumerate existing channels, which is low-risk information disclosure. This clearly falls under the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'swit-channel-list' and description 'Retrieve list of channels' indicate a query operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects.

Register the Swit MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for swit-channel-list: 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 Swit MCP Server. Nothing to install.
swit-channel-list 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 swit-channel-list 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 swit-channel-list. 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.
swit-channel-list is provided by the Swit MCP Server MCP server (tykann/swit-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
