Retrieve information about the current bot user.
AI agents call notion_retrieve_me to retrieve information from Notion MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about the authenticated bot user without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius—the worst outcome is information disclosure about the bot's own identity, which is already known to the system making the call. No side effects, no data mutation, no external execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'notion_retrieve_me' and description 'Retrieve information about the current bot user' indicate a read-only operation that queries user identity/profile data.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Notion MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for notion_retrieve_me:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"notion_retrieve_me": {}
}
}notion_retrieve_me is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Retrieve information about the current bot user. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Notion MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Notion MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for notion_retrieve_me: 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 Notion MCP Server. Nothing to install.
notion_retrieve_me 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 notion_retrieve_me 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 notion_retrieve_me. 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.
notion_retrieve_me is provided by the Notion MCP Server MCP server (orbit-logistics/notion-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Notion MCP Server, 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.
