What recall does on GetNote MCP Server

AI agents call recall to retrieve information from GetNote MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why recall needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries data from notes using semantic search without any side effects or ability to modify state. It is a read-only retrieval operation that returns sorted results. The required scope 'note.recall.read' further confirms read-only access. No data creation, modification, deletion, or code execution capabilities are present.

From the tool's definition Tool description states '全局语义搜索:在所有笔记中进行语义召回' (global semantic search: semantic recall across all notes) and '返回结果按相关度从高到低排序' (returns results sorted by relevance).

How to control recall

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and GetNote MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for recall:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "recall": {}
  }
}

recall is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register GetNote MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
