Get a minimal list of action items with optional project filtering. Returns only name (title), id, and projectId for each action item. Use get_action_item to retrieve full details for a specific action item.
AI agents call list_action_items to retrieve information from JoeMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves data from the construction management system without any side effects. It returns a read-only list of action items with minimal fields. There is no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The optional project filtering is a standard query parameter.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get a minimal list of action items' and 'Returns only name (title), id, and projectId for each action item.' This is a retrieval operation with no modification capabilities.

Get a minimal list of action items with optional project filtering. Returns only name (title), id, and projectId for each action item. Use get_action_item to retrieve full details for a specific action item. It is categorised as a Read tool in the JoeMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Joe MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_action_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 JoeMCP. Nothing to install.
list_action_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 list_action_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 list_action_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.
list_action_items is provided by the Joe MCP server (lumberjack-so/joemcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
