# calls_list_history

Search historical voice calls in this workspace by participant name, contact_id, thread, channel, source, and/or date range. Returns one row per call (NOT per turn) with call_id, duration_seconds, outcome, direction, started_at, source, channel_label, and parent_thread_id (the originating chat thread for Telegram-group / Twilio-outbound / Meet calls). Pair with calls.get_transcript(call_id) for the full per-turn transcript. Use this instead of messages.read_history for cross-thread call queries — group calls and Meet sessions live on per-call sub-threads, not on the parent chat thread.

| `since` | string | no | ISO date or datetime lower bound (inclusive). Default: 90 days ago. Naive timestamps are interpreted as UTC. |
| `until` | string | no | ISO date or datetime upper bound (inclusive). Default: now. |

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

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

## Why calls_list_history is rated Low

This is a read-only query tool that retrieves call history records and metadata. It has no capability to create, modify, delete, execute commands, or perform financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure of call metadata within an authorized workspace.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool searches and returns historical voice call metadata (call_id, duration_seconds, outcome, direction, started_at, source, channel_label, parent_thread_id) without modifying or deleting data."

## Use case

AI agents call calls_list_history to retrieve information from Dialogbrain 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 Dialogbrain:

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