AI agents call list_stale_notes to retrieve information from OpenAkashic 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_stale_notes 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 list_stale_notes only ever does what you allow.

What does the list_stale_notes tool do? +

Return notes whose freshness_date has passed the decay_tier threshold. decay_tier thresholds: legal=30d, product=60d, general=90d (default). Notes with snoozed_until set to a future date are skipped. Only returns notes readable by the calling token. Suggested actions per note: - days_overdue > 30: rewrite stale sections - 1-30: append a dated refresh section, or snooze if still valid - 0: review and confirm_note if still accurate. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OpenAkashic MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_stale_notes? +

Register the OpenAkashic MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_stale_notes: 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 OpenAkashic. Nothing to install.

What risk level is list_stale_notes? +

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

Can I rate-limit list_stale_notes? +

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

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