WHAT IT DOES

What notion_open_page does on Local

AI agents invoke notion_open_page to trigger actions in Local. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`page`	string	Yes	Page id (UUID) or title (partial, case-insensitive)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why notion_open_page is rated High

This tool triggers an external operation — launching/opening the Notion desktop application via a deep link. It doesn't just read data; it actively causes an application to open and navigate to a specific page. While it has a read-like intent (viewing a page), the mechanism is executing an external action (deep link invocation).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs notion_open_page safely

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

notion_open_page Rate-limited

notion_open_page stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Local, apply this rule, and every notion_open_page call is checked against it from then on.

It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Local MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

What parameters does notion_open_page accept? +

notion_open_page accepts 1 parameter: page. Required: page. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on notion_open_page? +

Register the Local MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for notion_open_page: 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 Local. Nothing to install.

What risk level is notion_open_page? +

notion_open_page is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit notion_open_page? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the notion_open_page 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 notion_open_page completely? +

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