Get the most recently added articles from ASTGL's knowledge base. Returns titles, descriptions, URLs, and content types.
AI agents call get_latest to retrieve information from ASTGL Knowledge without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | number | — | Number of recent articles to return (default: 5) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool queries and retrieves information from a knowledge base without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval function with no side effects, fitting the Read category. Severity is low because misuse would only expose existing knowledge base content.
From the tool's definition Tool returns 'titles, descriptions, URLs, and content types' from a knowledge base with no modification capability stated. The verb 'Get' and the passive retrieval of 'most recently added articles' indicate read-only data retrieval.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_latest gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and ASTGL Knowledge, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_latest:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_latest": {}
}
}get_latest is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the most recently added articles from ASTGL's knowledge base. Returns titles, descriptions, URLs, and content types. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ASTGL Knowledge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_latest accepts 1 parameter: limit. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the ASTGL Knowledge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_latest: 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 ASTGL Knowledge. Nothing to install.
get_latest 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 get_latest 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 get_latest. 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.
get_latest is provided by the ASTGL Knowledge MCP server (mcp-astgl-knowledge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from ASTGL Knowledge, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
