slack_list_add_item

Add a new item (row) to a Slack List. Returns the item_id (RecXXX) of the created row, which should be stored for future updates.

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

AI agents call slack_list_add_item to retrieve information from Tufin Pm 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 slack_list_add_item 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 slack_list_add_item tool do? +

Add a new item (row) to a Slack List. Returns the item_id (RecXXX) of the created row, which should be stored for future updates.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tufin Pm MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on slack_list_add_item? +

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

What risk level is slack_list_add_item? +

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

Can I rate-limit slack_list_add_item? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the slack_list_add_item 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 slack_list_add_item completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for slack_list_add_item. 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 slack_list_add_item? +

slack_list_add_item is provided by the Tufin Pm MCP server (tufin-pm-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
