AI agents call smartsheet_get_cell_history to retrieve information from Smartsheet 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 read-only query operations on Smartsheet data. It retrieves audit trail information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The pagination parameters (page_size, page) are standard read-query patterns. No side effects or irreversible actions are possible with this tool.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves modification history showing 'all previous values, who changed the value, and when each change occurred' with no parameters that write, delete, or execute operations. The return is a 'chronological list' of historical data.

Retrieve the full modification history for a specific cell in a Smartsheet sheet. Shows all previous values, who changed the value, and when each change occurred. Useful for audit trails and tracking project status changes over time. Args: - sheet_id (number): Target sheet ID - row_id (number): Target row ID - column_id (number): Target column ID - page_size (number, optional): History entries per page (default 100) - page (number, optional): Page number (default 1) Returns: Chronological list of cell value changes with timestamps and user info. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Smartsheet MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Smartsheet MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for smartsheet_get_cell_history: 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 Smartsheet MCP Server. Nothing to install.
smartsheet_get_cell_history 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 smartsheet_get_cell_history 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 smartsheet_get_cell_history. 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.
smartsheet_get_cell_history is provided by the Smartsheet MCP Server MCP server (prmbr42-bot/smartsheet-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
