List all conversations for a specific agent.
AI agents call list_conversations to retrieve information from CustomGPT MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a data retrieval operation ('list') that queries existing conversations associated with an agent. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. It is purely informational and falls squarely into the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_conversations' and description states it 'List all conversations for a specific agent.' The verb 'list' is a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external code.

Register the CustomGPT MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_conversations: 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 CustomGPT MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_conversations 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_conversations 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_conversations. 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_conversations is provided by the CustomGPT MCP Server MCP server (poll-the-people/customgpt-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
