1 of Overleaf MCP Server's 4 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Overleaf MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:
{
"write_file": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "write_file_per_hour",
"window": "hour",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
} Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.
{
"list_files": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "list_files_per_minute",
"window": "minute",
"max": 60,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
} Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
Free to start. No card required.
The Overleaf MCP Server server has 1 write tools including write_file. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Overleaf MCP Server.
4 tools across 2 categories: Read, Write. 3 are read-only. 1 can modify, create, or delete data.
Register the Overleaf MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.
Deterministic rules across all 4 Overleaf MCP Server tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
