List available resource categories for goal classification. Returns the categories you can use in create_goal
AI agents call list_resource_categories to retrieve information from Unfold It MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns available categories for reference purposes. It retrieves metadata without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The low blast radius reflects that misuse would only expose reference information about supported categories, with no capability to affect goals, data, or external systems.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List available resource categories' and 'Returns the categories you can use in create_goal'. The verb 'list' and the retrieval of reference data with no side effects indicates a read-only operation.

List available resource categories for goal classification. Returns the categories you can use in create_goal. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Unfold It MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Unfold It MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_resource_categories: 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 Unfold It MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_resource_categories 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_resource_categories 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_resource_categories. 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_resource_categories is provided by the Unfold It MCP Server MCP server (unfold-it/unfoldit-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
