List items in a media library collection. Photos and videos are returned with their CDN url and metadata. Useful for finding existing media to attach to a new post via schedule_post.
AI agents call list_media to retrieve information from Viraly 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 retrieves media library data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. It has no side effects beyond data retrieval. The blast radius is minimal—an agent could enumerate media assets but cannot alter them or trigger external operations. Classification as Read is appropriate.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List items in a media library collection' and returns 'Photos and videos...with their CDN url and metadata.' The verb 'list' and the function of retrieving and returning existing media without modification are characteristic of read…

List items in a media library collection. Photos and videos are returned with their CDN url and metadata. Useful for finding existing media to attach to a new post via schedule_post. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Viraly MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Viraly MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_media: 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 Viraly MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_media 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_media 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_media. 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_media is provided by the Viraly MCP Server MCP server (viraly-io/viraly-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
