WHAT IT DOES

What legal_clause_extractor does on Mcp Knowledge

AI agents call legal_clause_extractor to retrieve information from Mcp Knowledge without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`lang`	string	—	Optional. Language hint (e.g. 'en', 'fr', 'de'). Defaults to auto-detection.
`async`	boolean	—	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
`document_text`	string	Yes	Full text of the legal document (10k–100k chars typical). Plain text or lightly HTML-formatted. EN/FR/DE/ES/PT supported.
`document_type`	string	—	Optional. Document type hint. Defaults to auto-detection. Use "auto" or omit to let the tool detect from content.
`target_clauses`	array	—	Optional. Filter extraction to specific clause types. E.g. ["term", "termination", "liability", "ip", "confidentiality", "governing_law", "indemnification"]. If

RISK

Why legal_clause_extractor is rated Low

This is a document parsing and analysis tool that retrieves and structures information from legal documents without altering them, executing code, or affecting financial obligations. The capabilities describe information extraction and classification tasks typical of Read category tools. While used in high-stakes legal contexts, the tool itself performs no side effects beyond returning structured data.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'structured extraction of clauses, obligations and deadlines from legal documents' with capabilities limited to 'auto-detects', 'extracts', and 'classifies' — all read-only operations on existing documents.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs legal_clause_extractor safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Knowledge, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For legal_clause_extractor, this is the rule to start with:

legal_clause_extractor Allowed

legal_clause_extractor is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
