List content types in a space. Returns a maximum of 10 items per request. Use skip parameter to paginate through results.
AI agents call list_content_types to retrieve information from Contentful MCP Remote Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves data about content types without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It is a pure read operation with minimal risk. Low severity due to limited blast radius if misused—an agent listing content types cannot damage data or cause unintended operations.
From the tool's definition list_content_types retrieves content types with pagination (skip parameter), producing no side effects. The description explicitly states 'List content types' and 'Returns' results without modification or deletion.

List content types in a space. Returns a maximum of 10 items per request. Use skip parameter to paginate through results. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Contentful MCP Remote Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Contentful MCP Remote Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_content_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 Contentful MCP Remote Server. Nothing to install.
list_content_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 list_content_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 list_content_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.
list_content_types is provided by the Contentful MCP Remote Server MCP server (renzoqcad/contentful-express-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
