What notion_action does on UnClick
AI agents use notion_action to create or update resources in UnClick, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your UnClick environment.

Why notion_action is rated Medium
The tool spans multiple categories: Read (search, get, query) and Write (create, update). Per the rules, the most severe applicable category is chosen. Since it includes create_notion_page and update_notion_page, it qualifies as Write. Severity is high because an AI agent could create or modify arbitrary Notion pages and databases at scale across a workspace.

The rule that runs notion_action safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UnClick, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For notion_action, this is the rule to start with:
notion_action 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect UnClick, apply this rule, and every notion_action call is checked against it from then on.

Register the UnClick MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for notion_action: 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 UnClick. Nothing to install.
notion_action is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the notion_action 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 notion_action. 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.
notion_action is provided by the UnClick MCP server (creativelead/unclick). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
