# list_hitl_requests

[SUPPORT] Read-only: List HITL requests without needing UUIDs. OMIT project_id to list pending HITLs across ALL your projects (matches the dashboard) — planning sessions should call it this way so HITLs filed under another project aren't missed (a common cause of false 'no pending HITLs' confidence). Pass project_id to scope to one project. Returns pending queue plus answered/dismissed from the last 24 h by default so planning sessions can see what was recently decided without a separate call. Pass status='pending' for only the active queue, or status='answered'/'dismissed'/'all' for specific history.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `limit` | integer | no | Max results, default 50. |
| `status` | string | no | Filter: omit for pending+recent-answered (default), 'pending', 'answered', 'dismissed', or 'all'. |
| `project_id` | string | no | Optional. Omit to list across all projects. |
| `project_name` | string | no | Project name — an alternative to project_id; resolved to the id internally. project_id wins if both are given. |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_hitl_requests",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why list_hitl_requests is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries HITL (human-in-the-loop) request data with optional filtering by project_id and status. It performs no mutations, executions, or side effects—purely informational retrieval. The read-only designation and list operation confirm the Read category. Severity is low because listing queued requests poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool explicitly marked '[SUPPORT] Read-only: List HITL requests' and returns pending queue and historical data from the last 24 hours. No create, modify, delete, or execute operations described."

## Use case

AI agents call list_hitl_requests to retrieve information from Meridian 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 Meridian:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_hitl_requests": {}
  }
}
```
