Get all document types in the Sanity dataset
AI agents call sanity_get_types to retrieve information from Sanity 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 simple retrieval of schema/type information from the Sanity dataset. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute code or trigger external operations. It is purely informational, making it a Read operation with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'sanity_get_types' and description 'Get all document types in the Sanity dataset' indicate a query operation that retrieves metadata about available document types without modifying or executing anything.

Get all document types in the Sanity dataset. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sanity MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sanity MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sanity_get_types: 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 Sanity MCP Server. Nothing to install.
sanity_get_types 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 sanity_get_types 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 sanity_get_types. 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.
sanity_get_types is provided by the Sanity MCP Server MCP server (purple-horizons/sanity-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
