# List operation events

> List operation events through the Towbar REST API.

Required permissions: resource.read. Personal keys are capped by their owner’s current team role.

See [request conventions](/docs/api/overview) and [automation workflows](/docs/api/workflows). MCP clients use the task-oriented [tool catalogue](/docs/api/mcp-tools).
