Get items in a list. Use includeAll=true for subsets, properties, and selective access details. Returns item IDs for write_cells. For >1M items, use create_list_readrequest.
AI agents call get_list_items to retrieve information from Anaplan MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward data retrieval operation. It queries and returns list items without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The mention of returning IDs for use by write tools reinforces that this tool itself performs no mutation. The high confidence reflects the clear read-only nature of the operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_list_items' and description 'Get items in a list' indicates data retrieval with no modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_list_items gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Anaplan MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_list_items:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_list_items": {}
}
}get_list_items is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get items in a list. Use includeAll=true for subsets, properties, and selective access details. Returns item IDs for write_cells. For >1M items, use create_list_readrequest. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Anaplan MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Anaplan MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_list_items: 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 Anaplan MCP. Nothing to install.
get_list_items 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 get_list_items 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 get_list_items. 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.
get_list_items is provided by the Anaplan MCP server (larasrinath/anaplan-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Anaplan MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
