What search-wikipedia does on Minimal
AI agents call search-wikipedia to retrieve information from Minimal without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why search-wikipedia is rated Low
This tool only retrieves and displays information from Japanese Wikipedia articles. It performs a search query and returns summaries—classic read-only retrieval operations. There is no data modification, deletion, execution of arbitrary code, or financial impact. The minimal blast radius if misused would be excessive API calls or information gathering from public sources, both low-severity concerns.
From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Searches Japanese Wikipedia and returns article summaries.' The tool retrieves and queries existing public data with no modifications, deletions, or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs search-wikipedia safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Minimal, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search-wikipedia, this is the rule to start with:
search-wikipedia is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Minimal, apply this rule, and every search-wikipedia call is checked against it from then on.

search-wikipedia 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 search-wikipedia 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 search-wikipedia. 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.
search-wikipedia is provided by the Minimal MCP server (109naoki/minimal-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
