## chainctl policy list

List policies.

### Synopsis

List the policies available for an organization.

Each available policy is shown with its name, resource type, and description.
Several policies can share a name across resource types, so --resource-type
narrows the list to one of them.

```
chainctl policy list [--parent ORGANIZATION_NAME | ORGANIZATION_ID] [--output=json|table] [flags]
```

### Examples

```

# List all policies for an organization
chainctl policy list --parent=example.com

# List policies using interactive organization selection
chainctl policy list

# List only the policies that apply to Python packages
chainctl policy list --parent=example.com --resource-type=Python

# List policies in JSON format
chainctl policy list --parent=example.com -o json

```

### Options

```
      --parent string          The name or id of the organization. Defaults to the default.group config value (env: CHAINGUARD_DEFAULT_GROUP).
