patent_watchlist
Read the patent watchlist, or add a term to it. Adding is a WRITE. Removal is intentionally not available here — the watchlist is what makes scans find anything, and pruning it is the kind of tidying that quietly stops the system working. Remove terms in the admin UI.

What patent_watchlist does on 0nmcp
AI agents call patent_watchlist to permanently remove resources in 0nmcp, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why patent_watchlist is rated Critical
An AI agent that decides to call patent_watchlist doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from 0nmcp is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.

The rule that runs patent_watchlist safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 0nmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For patent_watchlist, this is the rule to start with:
patent_watchlist is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 0nmcp, apply this rule, and every patent_watchlist call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about patent_watchlist
Read the patent watchlist, or add a term to it. Adding is a WRITE. Removal is intentionally not available here — the watchlist is what makes scans find anything, and pruning it is the kind of tidying that quietly stops the system working. Remove terms in the admin UI. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the 0nmcp MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the 0n MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for patent_watchlist: 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 0nmcp. Nothing to install.
patent_watchlist is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the patent_watchlist 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 patent_watchlist. 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.
patent_watchlist is provided by the 0n MCP server (0nmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
