List epics for a project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tickr MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
list_epics accepts 1 parameter: project. Required: project. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Tickr MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_epics: 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 Tickr. Nothing to install.
list_epics 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_epics 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_epics. 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.
list_epics is provided by the Tickr MCP server (@k-system/tickr-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
