Lists archived posts from the local SQLite store.
AI agents call archive.posts.list to retrieve information from X Archive Daemon without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates data from a local database without side effects. It performs a query operation against stored posts, which is characteristic of Read category tools. The severity is low because listing archived data carries minimal risk—there is no code execution, data destruction, financial impact, or irreversible action.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list' and description 'Lists archived posts from the local SQLite store' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Lists archived posts from the local SQLite store. It is categorised as a Read tool in the X Archive Daemon MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the X Archive Daemon MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for archive.posts.list: 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 X Archive Daemon. Nothing to install.
archive.posts.list 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 archive.posts.list 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 archive.posts.list. 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.
archive.posts.list is provided by the X Archive Daemon MCP server (menesekinci/x-archive-daemon). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
