List all notes (comments) attached to a MantisBT issue. Note: get_issue already includes notes in its response — use list_notes only when you need notes without fetching the full issue.
AI agents call list_notes to retrieve information from MantisBT MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Register the MantisBT MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_notes: 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 MantisBT MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_notes 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_notes 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_notes. 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_notes is provided by the MantisBT MCP Server MCP server (@dpesch/mantisbt-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
