List all saved searches in the Evernote account.
AI agents call list_searches to retrieve information from Evernote 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 a retrieval operation that queries the Evernote account to display saved searches. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute arbitrary operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only enumerate searches the user has already created, revealing metadata about search patterns but not exposing note contents or destructive capabilities.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_searches' and description 'List all saved searches in the Evernote account' indicate a query operation that retrieves and enumerates existing data without modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_searches gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Evernote MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_searches:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_searches": {}
}
}list_searches is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the Evernote MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_searches: 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 Evernote MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_searches 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_searches 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_searches. 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_searches is provided by the Evernote MCP Server MCP server (kensou24/evernote-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Evernote MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
