List all segments a contact belongs to in Resend (by contact ID or email). Don
AI agents call list-contact-segments to retrieve information from Email Sending MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves contact segment membership information by querying a contact ID or email. It performs a passive read operation on an existing contact's properties without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any external operations. The retrieval of segment membership data carries minimal risk—no financial transactions, code execution, or irreversible changes are involved.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-contact-segments' and description 'List all segments a contact belongs to' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no data modification, deletion, or side effects.

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