WHAT IT DOES

What set_shortlist_alert does on Mcp Server

AI agents use set_shortlist_alert to create or update resources in Mcp Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Server environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`notify`	object	Yes	Delivery: {"webhook":"https://..."} and/or {"email":"you@co.com"} — at least one required
`delta_below`	number	—	Fire if any site's score_delta_since_saved drops below this — pass a NEGATIVE number, e.g. -8 (dropped 8+ points since saved)
`shortlist_name`	string	—	The shortlist to monitor (created via save_to_shortlist)
`percentile_below`	number	—	Fire if any site's current percentile objective_score drops below this (e.g. 70)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs set_shortlist_alert safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For set_shortlist_alert, this is the rule to start with:

set_shortlist_alert Rate-limited

set_shortlist_alert stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about set_shortlist_alert

What does the set_shortlist_alert tool do? +

Set a DRIFT ALERT on a saved shortlist so you can stop polling and be notified when a site's national standing moves materially (Phase 5). Fires when any site in the shortlist has current percentile score < percentile_below OR score_delta_since_saved < delta_below (e.g. -8 = dropped 8 points vs when saved). Evaluated after each daily baseline refresh; delivers via webhook and/or email. This is the "wake me when it matters" loop for long-running siting campaigns. Scoped to your API key. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does set_shortlist_alert accept? +

set_shortlist_alert accepts 4 parameters: notify, delta_below, shortlist_name, percentile_below. Required: notify. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on set_shortlist_alert? +

Register the Mcp Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_shortlist_alert: 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 Mcp Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is set_shortlist_alert? +

set_shortlist_alert is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit set_shortlist_alert? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_shortlist_alert 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.

How do I block set_shortlist_alert completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_shortlist_alert. 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.

What MCP server provides set_shortlist_alert? +

set_shortlist_alert is provided by the Mcp Server MCP server (https://dchub.cloud/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
