# notion_list_databases Lists Notion databases cached on this Mac with their schema (column names and types). Use notion_read_database to get the rows. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `notion_list_databases`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/notion-list-databases ## Facts - Tool: `notion_list_databases` - Server: Local (`local-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y local-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/lanchuske/local-mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server auth posture: open - Server CORS policy: * - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "notion_list_databases", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why notion_list_databases is rated Low This tool retrieves and queries cached Notion database metadata (names and schema). It performs no side effects, creates no data, executes no code, and causes no destructive changes. The description explicitly distinguishes this from notion_read_database (which reads rows), emphasizing its limited scope to schema introspection. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Lists Notion databases cached on this Mac with their schema (column names and types).' The verb 'lists' and the focus on retrieving schema information indicates a read-only operation with no data modification." ## Use case AI agents call notion_list_databases to retrieve information from Local without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Local: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "notion_list_databases": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Local (233) - `delete_calendar_event` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/delete-calendar-event.md - `delete_reminder` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/delete-reminder.md - `delete_reminder_list` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/delete-reminder-list.md - `m365_delete_event` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/m365-delete-event.md - `onedrive_delete_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/onedrive-delete-file.md - `recipe_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/recipe-delete.md - `chrome_click` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/chrome-click.md - `chrome_evaluate_js` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/chrome-evaluate-js.md - `chrome_fill_form` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/chrome-fill-form.md - `chrome_go_back` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/chrome-go-back.md - `chrome_navigate` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/chrome-navigate.md - `chrome_type` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/chrome-type.md - `chrome_wait_for` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/chrome-wait-for.md - `nordvpn_diagnose` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/nordvpn-diagnose.md - `notion_open_page` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/notion-open-page.md - `recipe_run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/recipe-run.md - `run_diagnostics` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/run-diagnostics.md - `run_terminal_command` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/run-terminal-command.md - `safari_click` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/safari-click.md - `safari_evaluate_js` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/safari-evaluate-js.md - `safari_fill_form` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/safari-fill-form.md - `safari_go_back` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/safari-go-back.md - `safari_navigate` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/safari-navigate.md - `safari_query_selector_all` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/safari-query-selector-all.md - `safari_type` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/safari-type.md - `safari_wait_for` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/safari-wait-for.md - `screen_record_start` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/screen-record-start.md - `screen_record_stop` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/screen-record-stop.md - `setup_install` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/setup-install.md - `ui_click` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp/ui-click.md - …and 203 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/com-local-mcp-local-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
