Get a listing of pages visible to the user
AI agents call list_pages to retrieve information from BookStack MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a list of pages that are already visible to the authenticated user. It performs no data modification, deletion, or execution of code. The operation is read-only, respects the user's existing permissions ('visible to the user'), and has minimal blast radius if invoked incorrectly by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_pages' and description states 'Get a listing of pages visible to the user' — a retrieval operation with no side effects or modifications.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_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 list_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.
list_pages is provided by the BookStack MCP Server MCP server (lautarobarba/bookstack_mcp_server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
