Show current import state and synced ranges
AI agents call readwise_state_info to retrieve information from Readwise MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool purely queries and retrieves current state information about imports and synced ranges. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute operations, and does not delete or move data. It fits the 'Read' category as a simple information retrieval operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'readwise_state_info' and description 'Show current import state and synced ranges' indicate retrieval of state information with no modification or deletion of data.

Show current import state and synced ranges. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Readwise MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Readwise MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for readwise_state_info: 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 Readwise MCP Server. Nothing to install.
readwise_state_info 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 readwise_state_info 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 readwise_state_info. 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.
readwise_state_info is provided by the Readwise MCP Server MCP server (ngpestelos/readwise-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
