Get the authenticated user's Twitter Lists (paginated).
AI agents call get_lists to retrieve information from Twikit without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves paginated list data belonging to the authenticated user. It is a straightforward read operation that queries existing data with no capability to create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The pagination suggests it is designed for safe data retrieval only.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_lists' and description 'Get the authenticated user's Twitter Lists (paginated)' indicate retrieval of user data without modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_lists gives an agent:
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_lists:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_lists": {}
}
}get_lists is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the authenticated user's Twitter Lists (paginated). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Twikit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Twikit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_lists: 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 Twikit. Nothing to install.
get_lists 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 get_lists 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 get_lists. 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.
get_lists is provided by the Twikit MCP server (tangivis/twitter-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Twikit, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
