What notifications_list does on Vikunja
AI agents call notifications_list to retrieve information from Vikunja without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs notifications_list safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Vikunja, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For notifications_list, this is the rule to start with:
notifications_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Vikunja, apply this rule, and every notifications_list call is checked against it from then on.
