AI agents call list_actions to retrieve information from AF_MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries historical records of disposition actions with filtering capabilities. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations—purely a lookup/audit function. The context of an AF security device platform suggests this lists past blocking/unblocking events for review, which is a standard Read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states '查询最近的处置动作记录' (query recent action records) with optional filtering by IP or status. The verb '查询' (query/check) and the read-only nature of retrieving historical action logs indicates data retrieval with no side effects.

查询最近的处置动作记录（支持按 IP 或状态过滤）。. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AF_MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AF_ MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_actions: 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 AF_MCP. Nothing to install.
list_actions 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_actions 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_actions. 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_actions is provided by the AF_ MCP server (xiaqijun/af_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
