add_objects_to_list

Adds one or more objects to a specific list in a space.

Single-target operation

Part of the Anytype MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use add_objects_to_list to create or modify resources in Anytype MCP Server. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON ADD_OBJECTS_TO_LIST

Without a policy, an AI agent could call add_objects_to_list repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Anytype MCP Server.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the add_objects_to_list tool do? +

Adds one or more objects to a specific list in a space.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Anytype MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on add_objects_to_list? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for add_objects_to_list. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Anytype MCP Server MCP server.

What risk level is add_objects_to_list? +

add_objects_to_list is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit add_objects_to_list? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_objects_to_list rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block add_objects_to_list completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for add_objects_to_list. 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.

What MCP server provides add_objects_to_list? +

add_objects_to_list is provided by the Anytype MCP Server MCP server (Qwinty/anytype-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
