Gets a list of headlines from a feed, including title, summary, and URL.
AI agents call get_feed_headlines to retrieve information from Mcp Rss without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and presents information from RSS feeds without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a pure read operation with no side effects. The low severity reflects minimal security risk—an AI agent could retrieve unwanted information but cannot cause damage, financial loss, or destructive changes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_feed_headlines' and description 'Gets a list of headlines from a feed, including title, summary, and URL' indicate retrieval of feed data with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Rss, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_feed_headlines:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_feed_headlines": {}
}
}get_feed_headlines is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the Mcp Rss MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_feed_headlines: 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 Mcp Rss. Nothing to install.
get_feed_headlines 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_feed_headlines 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_feed_headlines. 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_feed_headlines is provided by the Mcp Rss MCP server (missionsquad/mcp-rss). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Mcp Rss, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
