notion-fetch
Fetch a Notion resource by URL
Part of the Notion MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL
AI agents call notion-fetch to retrieve information from Notion 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.
WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON NOTION-FETCH
Even though notion-fetch 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.
RECOMMENDED POLICY
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does the notion-fetch tool do?
Fetch a Notion resource by URL. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Notion MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
How do I enforce a policy on notion-fetch?
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for notion-fetch. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Notion MCP server.
What risk level is notion-fetch?
notion-fetch is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Can I rate-limit notion-fetch?
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the notion-fetch 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 notion-fetch completely?
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for notion-fetch. 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 notion-fetch?
notion-fetch is provided by the Notion MCP server (notion-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
