# load_scientific_data Load scientific datasets (VTK, EXODUS, CSV, RAW, BP5) into ParaView with automatic format detection. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `load_scientific_data`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/load-scientific-data ## Facts - Tool: `load_scientific_data` - Server: CLIO Adios (`pypi:clio-kit`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y pypi:clio-kit` - Homepage: https://github.com/iowarp/clio-kit - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "load_scientific_data", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why load_scientific_data is rated Low The tool fetches and loads pre-existing scientific data files into ParaView for visualization and analysis. Loading data for reading and analysis is a Read operation. There is no indication of data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact. The blast radius of misuse is limited to potential exposure of the data being read. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Load scientific datasets' with 'automatic format detection' — these are retrieval and analysis operations with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities mentioned." ## Use case AI agents call load_scientific_data to retrieve information from CLIO Adios 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 CLIO Adios: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "load_scientific_data": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on CLIO Adios (203) - `cancel_slurm_job` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/cancel-slurm-job.md - `destroy_pipeline` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/destroy-pipeline.md - `jm_remove_repo` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jm-remove-repo.md - `jm_reset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jm-reset.md - `remove_pkg` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/remove-pkg.md - `slurm_cancel` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/slurm-cancel.md - `allocate_slurm_nodes` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/allocate-slurm-nodes.md - `build_pipeline_env` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/build-pipeline-env.md - `generate_isosurface` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/generate-isosurface.md - `heatmap_plot` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/heatmap-plot.md - `hypothesis_testing` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/hypothesis-testing.md - `jarvis_run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jarvis-run.md - `jm_cd` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jm-cd.md - `jm_graph_build` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jm-graph-build.md - `module_load` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/module-load.md - `module_swap` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/module-swap.md - `module_unload` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/module-unload.md - `parallel_sort_large_file` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/parallel-sort-large-file.md - `reset_camera` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/reset-camera.md - `rotate_camera` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/rotate-camera.md - `run_pipeline` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/run-pipeline.md - `show_screenshot_preview` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/show-screenshot-preview.md - `stop_chronolog` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/stop-chronolog.md - `submit_array_job` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/submit-array-job.md - `submit_slurm_job` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/submit-slurm-job.md - `warp_by_vector` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/warp-by-vector.md - `aggregate_column_tool` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/aggregate-column-tool.md - `analyze_file_access_patterns` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/analyze-file-access-patterns.md - `analyze_log_statistics` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/analyze-log-statistics.md - `analyze_mpiio_operations` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/analyze-mpiio-operations.md - …and 173 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
