list_platforms

List all available icon platforms/styles. Args: ctx: MCP context for API access limit: Maximum number of results to return (default: 100) page: Page number for pagination (default: 1) Returns: List of icon platforms/styles

Part of the Icons8 MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call list_platforms to retrieve information from Icons8 MCP Server 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_platforms 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.

What does the list_platforms tool do? +

List all available icon platforms/styles. Args: ctx: MCP context for API access limit: Maximum number of results to return (default: 100) page: Page number for pagination (default: 1) Returns: List of icon platforms/styles . It is categorised as a Read tool in the Icons8 MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_platforms? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for list_platforms. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Icons8 MCP Server MCP server.

What risk level is list_platforms? +

list_platforms is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit list_platforms? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_platforms rule in your Intercept 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 list_platforms completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for list_platforms. 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 list_platforms? +

list_platforms is provided by the Icons8 MCP Server MCP server (icons8community/icons8mpc). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
