List all generated documents
AI agents call list_documents to retrieve information from docxtpl MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries data (listing documents) with no side effects. It falls squarely into the Read category. The severity is low because listing documents poses minimal risk—it only reveals metadata about existing generated documents without executing code, modifying content, or causing destructive actions. The confidence is high because the tool's purpose is unambiguous.

Register the docxtpl MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_documents: 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 docxtpl MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_documents 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_documents 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_documents. 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_documents is provided by the docxtpl MCP Server MCP server (z1w2r3/doc-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
