Retrieve a list of unresolved comments from a Notion page or block. Requires the integration to have
AI agents call notion_retrieve_comments 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 retrieves existing comments from a Notion page or block with no side effects. It performs a simple data query operation (retrieve/list), matching the 'Read' category. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent cannot cause damage by reading comments. Severity is low because the operation is non-destructive and limited to viewing existing collaborative feedback data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'notion_retrieve_comments' and description 'Retrieve a list of unresolved comments' indicate a read-only operation that queries data without modification.

Register the Notion MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for notion_retrieve_comments: 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.
notion_retrieve_comments 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 notion_retrieve_comments 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 notion_retrieve_comments. 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.
