AI agents call list-pages to retrieve information from Onenote without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and lists existing data (page metadata) from a specified OneNote section without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query function with no side effects, placing it squarely in the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'List pages in a specific section' and 'Returns page titles, IDs, and metadata.' These are retrieval/query operations with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List pages in a specific section. Returns page titles, IDs, and metadata. Always specify a sectionId to avoid errors on accounts with many sections. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Onenote MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Onenote MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list-pages: 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 Onenote. Nothing to install.
list-pages 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 list-pages 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 list-pages. 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.
list-pages is provided by the Onenote MCP server (jacob-hartmann/onenote-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
