AI agents call reelgrep_list_exports to retrieve information from Reelgrep 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 a list of previously generated export artifacts (screenshots, clips, gifs, contact sheets) with optional filters. It has no capability to create, modify, delete, or execute operations—it only retrieves metadata about existing exports. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states it 'List[s] export artifacts' with optional filtering. The verb 'list' and absence of any modification language indicate a read-only retrieval operation.

Register the Reelgrep MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reelgrep_list_exports: 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 Reelgrep. Nothing to install.
reelgrep_list_exports 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 reelgrep_list_exports 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.
