# search_papers_by_author Search ArXiv papers by author name. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `search_papers_by_author`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/search-papers-by-author ## Facts - Tool: `search_papers_by_author` - 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": "search_papers_by_author", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why search_papers_by_author is rated Low This tool retrieves scholarly publication metadata from ArXiv based on author search criteria. It is a read-only query operation with no side effects, no code execution, no financial implications, and no data modification capabilities. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—worst case, an AI agent searches for papers repeatedly, causing no harm to systems or data. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'search_papers_by_author' and description 'Search ArXiv papers by author name' indicate a query operation that retrieves existing data without modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code." ## Use case AI agents call search_papers_by_author 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": { "search_papers_by_author": {} } } ``` ## 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.
