Find updated rows in a database after a specific datetime.
AI agents call appflowy_get_updated_rows to retrieve information from AppFlowy MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves historical data about row updates from a database. It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects, no data modification, no execution of external commands, and no destructive actions. The severity is low because querying metadata about updated rows poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent — it cannot modify, delete, or execute anything.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate querying/retrieval: 'Find updated rows in a database after a specific datetime' — this is a search/query operation that retrieves data without modification or deletion.

Register the AppFlowy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for appflowy_get_updated_rows: 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 AppFlowy MCP. Nothing to install.
appflowy_get_updated_rows 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 appflowy_get_updated_rows 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 appflowy_get_updated_rows. 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.
appflowy_get_updated_rows is provided by the AppFlowy MCP server (weironz/appflowy_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
