get_listings is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call get_listings to retrieve information from Humanpages 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 get_listings 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.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so get_listings only ever does what you allow.

How do I enforce a policy on get_listings? +

Can I rate-limit get_listings? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_listings. 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 get_listings? +

get_listings is provided by the Humanpages MCP server (humanpages). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
