List all available predefined time periods and their descriptions.
AI agents call list_time_periods to retrieve information from CX TimeFilter MCP 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 returns metadata about available time periods without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a read-only information lookup operation, posing minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_time_periods' and description states it 'List all available predefined time periods and their descriptions' — a pure retrieval operation with no side effects.

Register the CX TimeFilter MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_time_periods: 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 CX TimeFilter MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_time_periods 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_time_periods 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_time_periods. 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.
