Answers: Conduct a literature review on — what does the evidence show across recent papers? · Evaluate the current hypothesis that — supporting and contradicting evidence with citations. · Map contradictions in the literature on — which camps exist, how many papers per side? · What is the state-of-the-art understanding of as of ? · Perform an interdisciplinary synthesis on — findings from and . Reference case: Gut-brain axis · Cognitive performance in healthy adults · OpenAlex+SemanticScholar+CORE · Evidence synthesis · DOI-verified citations · Contradictions + gaps mapped. Inputs are validated server-side — send the documented case fields. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `research_paper_qa`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/research-paper-qa ## Facts - Tool: `research_paper_qa` - Server: Gapup Mcp (`https://mcp.gapup.io/mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/getgapup/gapup-mcp-public - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server auth posture: open - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 7 (5 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `async` | boolean | no | If true, returns a job_id immediately (<200ms) instead of waiting for the result. Poll the result with job_result(job_id). Use for slow tools to avoid client ti | | `max_papers` | integer | yes | | | `year_range` | object | no | | | `focus_domain` | string | yes | | | `include_preprints` | boolean | yes | | | `research_question` | string | yes | | | `evidence_grade_required` | string | yes | | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "research_paper_qa", "arguments": { "max_papers": 0, "focus_domain": "", "include_preprints": false, "research_question": "", "evidence_grade_required": "" } } } ``` ## Why research_paper_qa is rated Low This tool performs scientific literature review and synthesis, retrieving and summarizing existing research papers. It queries and reads academic content without modifying, executing, or financially transacting anything. The 'agent-payable' note on the server implies a per-call cost, but the tool itself is a read/query operation. Severity is low as misuse would at worst produce misleading summaries. From the tool's own definition: "Synthèse littérature scientifique (PaperQA2) — Returns a structured, audited deliverable. Answers: Conduct a literature review on — what does the evidence show across recent papers?" ## Use case AI agents call research_paper_qa to retrieve information from Gapup Mcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Gapup Mcp: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "research_paper_qa": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Gapup Mcp (270) - `adversarial_input_stress_tester` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/adversarial-input-stress-tester.md - `dora_operational_resilience_stress_tes` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/dora-operational-resilience-stress-tes.md - `financial_model_3statement` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/financial-model-3statement.md - `gl_reconciler` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/gl-reconciler.md - `lgpd_data_subject_rights_automator` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/lgpd-data-subject-rights-automator.md - `monte_carlo_portfolio` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/monte-carlo-portfolio.md - `process_mining` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/process-mining.md - `ugc_moderation_classifier` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/ugc-moderation-classifier.md - `workflow_orchestrator` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/workflow-orchestrator.md - `abm_architect` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/abm-architect.md - `account_expansion_mapper` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/account-expansion-mapper.md - `anti_demissions_hr` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/anti-demissions-hr.md - `audit_pre_flight` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/audit-pre-flight.md - `budget_variance_ai` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/budget-variance-ai.md - `capacity_planning` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/capacity-planning.md - `capital_strategy` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/capital-strategy.md - `churn_defender` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/churn-defender.md - `competitor_moves` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/competitor-moves.md - `competitor_recommendations` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/competitor-recommendations.md - `content_engine` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/content-engine.md - `cross_sell_reco` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/cross-sell-reco.md - `customer_voice_synth` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/customer-voice-synth.md - `cyber_risk_auditor` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/cyber-risk-auditor.md - `deal_structurer` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/deal-structurer.md - `discovery_prep` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/discovery-prep.md - `diversity_inclusion_metrics` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/diversity-inclusion-metrics.md - `earnings_reviewer` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/earnings-reviewer.md - `enps_auto` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/enps-auto.md - `event_marketing` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/event-marketing.md - `fraud_detector` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp/fraud-detector.md - …and 240 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-getgapup-gapup-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
