mcp_events_list

Retrieves a list of events. Call mcp_get_me first to determine account context. To filter by a specific entity (e.g. Project), set 'filter' to the entity type (e.g. 'PROJECT') and provide its 'id'. For global company stats, use filter='COMPANY' (no id required).

Single-target operation

Part of the Tracking Time MCP MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call mcp_events_list to retrieve information from Tracking Time MCP without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though mcp_events_list only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the mcp_events_list tool do? +

Retrieves a list of events. Call mcp_get_me first to determine account context. To filter by a specific entity (e.g. Project), set 'filter' to the entity type (e.g. 'PROJECT') and provide its 'id'. For global company stats, use filter='COMPANY' (no id required).. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tracking Time MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on mcp_events_list? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for mcp_events_list. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Tracking Time MCP MCP server.

What risk level is mcp_events_list? +

mcp_events_list is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit mcp_events_list? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the mcp_events_list rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block mcp_events_list completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for mcp_events_list. 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.

What MCP server provides mcp_events_list? +

mcp_events_list is provided by the Tracking Time MCP MCP server (trackingtime/mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
