AI agents call list_brand_assets to retrieve information from Heista 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 list_brand_assets 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 images for a brand. Filter by PowerSource (this scan only, via powersource_id), by on-pack product_name (the vision tagger's read), by type (logo, product, product_cutout, hero, lifestyle, ingredient, packaging, certification, before_after, infographic, screenshot, video, general), or by is_primary_product. Use this BEFORE generating any image-based output so you pick from the brand's real assets, not generic stock. Returns asset_id, signed url, type, detected_product_name, is_primary_product, sources. Free, read-only. Paginated via cursor.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Heista MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Heista MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_brand_assets: 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 Heista. Nothing to install.
list_brand_assets 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 list_brand_assets 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 list_brand_assets. 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.
list_brand_assets is provided by the Heista MCP server (https://www.heista.co/api/mcp/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
