Execute a natural language query about ideas in the workspace. Examples: -
AI agents call query_ideas to retrieve information from IdeaLift MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about ideas stored in the backlog management system. While it uses the word 'Execute,' this refers to executing a query (a read operation), not executing code or commands. The tool operates on product feedback data aggregated from multiple communication platforms.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'query_ideas' and description 'Execute a natural language query about ideas in the workspace' indicates data retrieval. The verb 'query' combined with 'about ideas' suggests fetching/searching existing data without modification or deletion.

Execute a natural language query about ideas in the workspace. Examples: -. It is categorised as a Read tool in the IdeaLift MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the IdeaLift MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for query_ideas: 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 IdeaLift MCP Server. Nothing to install.
query_ideas 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 query_ideas 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 query_ideas. 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.
query_ideas is provided by the IdeaLift MCP Server MCP server (startvest-llc/idealift-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
