listDocumentVersions
List version history for a document. Returns timestamps, creator, change summary, and content. HOW IT CHANGED: give changedSince (a period such as this_week, or a date) for the versions saved in that time, each with who saved it by name and when in words; add compare:true for the difference, work...

What listDocumentVersions does on Stable Baseline
AI agents call listDocumentVersions to retrieve information from Stable Baseline without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | number | — | Max versions. Default: 50, max: 200. |
fields | array | — | Field projection. Valid fields: id, documentId, versionNumber, title, contentMarkdown, changeSummary, createdBy, createdAt. |
offset | number | — | Pagination offset. |
toDate | string | — | ISO 8601 date filter (to). |
compare | boolean | — | Also return the difference: the lines added and removed, each with the heading it sits under. |
fromDate | string | — | ISO 8601 date filter (from). |
timeZone | string | — | The IANA time zone the window and its times are in, such as Australia/Sydney. Default: the person's own (the zone their browser last saved), else UTC. |
projectId | string | — | Optional. Narrows a friendly-id lookup to one project. Only needed when a friendly id is ambiguous — TAS-/IMP-/PLN- ids are numbered per PROJECT, so the same id |
documentId | string | Yes | Accepts either the UUID or the friendly id (e.g. DOC-815); friendly ids are resolved within your organisation. |
changedSince | string | — | What changed: only what was added or edited from this point, newest change first, each with who changed it and when. A period: today, yesterday, this_week, last |
changedBefore | string | — | With changedSince given as a date: only what changed before this date (YYYY-MM-DD) or date and time. |
sortAscending | boolean | — | Sort oldest first. Default: false. |

Why listDocumentVersions is rated Low
Even though listDocumentVersions only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs listDocumentVersions safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Stable Baseline, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For listDocumentVersions, this is the rule to start with:
listDocumentVersions is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Stable Baseline, apply this rule, and every listDocumentVersions call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about listDocumentVersions
List version history for a document. Returns timestamps, creator, change summary, and content. HOW IT CHANGED: give changedSince (a period such as this_week, or a date) for the versions saved in that time, each with who saved it by name and when in words; add compare:true for the difference, worked out from the text: the lines added and removed between the document as it stood before that time and now, each with the heading it sits under. compare:true without changedSince sets a version (versionNumber, else the newest) against the one before it. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Stable Baseline MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
listDocumentVersions accepts 12 parameters: limit, fields, offset, toDate, compare, fromDate, timeZone, projectId, documentId, changedSince, changedBefore, sortAscending. Required: documentId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Stable Baseline MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for listDocumentVersions: 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 Stable Baseline. Nothing to install.
listDocumentVersions is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the listDocumentVersions 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for listDocumentVersions. 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.
listDocumentVersions is provided by the Stable Baseline MCP server (https://api.stablebaseline.io/functions/v1/cloud-serve/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
