Queries and retrieves pages (records) from a Notion database. Supports filtering and sorting. Examples:
AI agents call query_pages to retrieve information from Notion MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs read-only operations on Notion database pages. It retrieves and filters existing data but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The language ('queries and retrieves') confirms passive data access.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'query_pages' combined with description 'Queries and retrieves pages (records)' and explicit mention of 'Supports filtering and sorting' indicates data retrieval without modification.

Register the Notion MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for query_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 Notion MCP Server. Nothing to install.
query_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 query_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 query_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.
query_pages is provided by the Notion MCP Server MCP server (kazy1014/notion-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
