Why list_undos needs a policy

This tool only queries and returns information about existing undo checkpoints. It has no side effects, does not create, modify, or delete checkpoints, and does not execute external operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval function, consistent with the 'Read' category.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_undos' and description states 'List all undo checkpoints in the stack' — a pure read/query operation that retrieves checkpoint metadata without modifying or deleting any data.

How to control list_undos

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

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

list_undos 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 Undo — 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.
