list_section_tree
AI agents call list_section_tree to retrieve information from Asset Aware without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears designed to retrieve and expose the logical structure of document sections without modifying, deleting, or executing arbitrary code. This is a read-only data retrieval operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be information disclosure or access to unintended document metadata. The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but naming and context are clear.

list_section_tree. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Asset Aware MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Asset Aware MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_section_tree: 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 Asset Aware. Nothing to install.
list_section_tree 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_section_tree 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_section_tree. 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_section_tree is provided by the Asset Aware MCP server (u9401066/asset-aware-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
