AI agents call list-posts to retrieve information from Paragraph MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries post data from a publication, returning metadata about posts. It has no side effects—it only fetches information. The recommendation to use small limits for efficiency further confirms it is a read-only operation. No data is created, modified, deleted, or committed as a result of calling this tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-posts' and description 'List posts from a publication by publication ID, or list your own posts' indicate data retrieval without modification.

List posts from a publication by publication ID, or list your own posts (requires API key). Supports pagination and status filtering. Tip: if you only need the total count, set limit to 1 — the response includes pagination.total. Start with a small limit and increase only if needed, as large limits may produce oversized responses. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Paragraph MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Paragraph MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list-posts: 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 Paragraph MCP. Nothing to install.
list-posts 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-posts 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-posts. 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-posts is provided by the Paragraph MCP server (paragraph-xyz/paragraph-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
list-posts is one line of Paragraph's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
