List monitors in the authenticated organization. Optional filters narrow by status, type, or paginate.
AI agents call vs_monitors_list to retrieve information from Visual Sentinel 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 existing monitor configurations and metadata from an authenticated account. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it only reads and filters existing data. The severity is low because the blast radius of misuse is limited to exposure of monitoring configuration details that an authenticated user already has access to.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List monitors in the authenticated organization' with optional filters for status, type, or pagination. This is a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access

Register the Visual Sentinel MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vs_monitors_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 Visual Sentinel MCP Server. Nothing to install.
vs_monitors_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 vs_monitors_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 vs_monitors_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.
