List inbox items with optional filtering by any field. Multiple filters can be combined eg.
AI agents call list_inbox_items to retrieve information from RAD Security without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and filters inbox items from the RAD Security API without modifying, deleting, executing, or triggering external operations. The verb 'list' combined with filtering capability confirms this is a read-only data retrieval function. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could view unauthorized inbox items but cannot alter system state or trigger actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_inbox_items' and description 'List inbox items with optional filtering by any field' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. This is a query/list operation typical of Read category tools.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and RAD Security, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_inbox_items:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_inbox_items": {}
}
}list_inbox_items is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the RAD Security MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_inbox_items: 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 RAD Security. Nothing to install.
list_inbox_items 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_inbox_items 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_inbox_items. 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_inbox_items is provided by the RAD Security MCP server (rad-security/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from RAD Security, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
