Discover all SSIS packages (.dtsx files) from a given source.
AI agents call scan_ssis_packages to retrieve information from Ssis Adf Agent without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a query or listing operation to locate SSIS package files in a source location. It retrieves information about files without creating, modifying, deleting, executing, or moving data. This is a pure reconnaissance/discovery action with no side effects, fitting the 'Read' category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'scan_ssis_packages' with description 'Discover all SSIS packages (.dtsx files) from a given source' indicates file discovery/enumeration with no modification or execution capability.

scan_ssis_packages 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 scan_ssis_packages 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.
