AI agents call noteit_notes_list to retrieve information from Noteit without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though noteit_notes_list only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

List user notes with optional tag and project filtering. Use 'projectName' to filter by project, or omit for cross-project search. Results show project name for context. NOTE: This is for note-taking, separate from agent profile configuration.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Noteit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Noteit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for noteit_notes_list: 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 Noteit. Nothing to install.
noteit_notes_list 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 noteit_notes_list 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 noteit_notes_list. 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.
noteit_notes_list is provided by the Noteit MCP server (bahfahh/noteit-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
