Why get_list_members needs a policy

The tool retrieves and queries publicly available list membership information from Twitter/X. It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or transfer funds. The paginated retrieval of list members is a straightforward data read operation. Even in the context of a Twitter management interface, this tool only accesses existing information without altering any state.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Get[s] members of a Twitter List (paginated)'. This is a read-only retrieval operation with no side effects.

How to control get_list_members

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Twikit, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_list_members:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_list_members": {}
  }
}

get_list_members is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Twikit — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
