Why list_research is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries oncology research data from PubMed with no side effects. It enables filtering and listing of peer-reviewed papers, which is a pure Read operation. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The low severity reflects minimal risk: misuse would only surface irrelevant or filtered research results without consequence.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_research' and description explicitly states it 'List[s]' research papers with filtering options. Provides read-only access to abstracts, authors, journal information, and summaries—no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_research safely

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

list_research Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_research": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Cure Cancer With AI, apply this rule, and every list_research call is checked against it from then on.
