What list_experiments does on Iterable MCP Server

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

Why list_experiments needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only operation that retrieves experiment data from the Iterable platform. It allows filtering and pagination of results but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The severity is low because listing/querying data poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be accessing metadata about experiments the agent is already authorized to view.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_experiments' and description 'List experiments with optional filtering by campaign, status, and date range. Supports pagination.' indicate retrieval and querying of existing experiment data without modification or side effects.

How to control list_experiments

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

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

list_experiments 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 Iterable 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.

How do I enforce a policy on list_experiments? +

Register the Iterable MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_experiments: 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 Iterable MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is list_experiments? +

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

Can I rate-limit list_experiments? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_experiments 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_experiments completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_experiments. 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_experiments? +

list_experiments is provided by the Iterable MCP Server MCP server (iterable/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Iterable MCP Server tool call.
