# transkribus_file_check Check the status or existence of a file at a given path. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `transkribus_file_check`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-file-check ## Facts - Tool: `transkribus_file_check` - Server: Transkribus (`@lazyants/transkribus-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus.md - Install: `npx -y @lazyants/transkribus-mcp-server` - Homepage: https://github.com/lazyants/transkribus-mcp-server - 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": "transkribus_file_check", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why transkribus_file_check is rated Low This tool performs a read-only operation: it queries the status or existence of a file, which is a retrieval operation with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius is minimal since the worst outcome of misuse is checking unauthorized file metadata. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'transkribus_file_check' and description 'Check the status or existence of a file at a given path' indicates a query operation that retrieves information about a file without modification or deletion." ## Use case AI agents call transkribus_file_check to retrieve information from Transkribus 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 Transkribus: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "transkribus_file_check": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Transkribus (300) - `transkribus_coll_credit_remove_package` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-coll-credit-remove-package.md - `transkribus_coll_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-coll-delete.md - `transkribus_coll_delete_empty` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-coll-delete-empty.md - `transkribus_coll_remove_user` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-coll-remove-user.md - `transkribus_coll_user_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-coll-user-remove.md - `transkribus_crowd_delete_messages` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-crowd-delete-messages.md - `transkribus_crowd_delete_milestones` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-crowd-delete-milestones.md - `transkribus_doc_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-doc-delete.md - `transkribus_editdecl_delete_feature` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-editdecl-delete-feature.md - `transkribus_editdecl_delete_option` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-editdecl-delete-option.md - `transkribus_job_undo` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-job-undo.md - `transkribus_label_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-label-delete.md - `transkribus_label_remove_all_documents` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-label-remove-all-documents.md - `transkribus_label_remove_all_pages` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-label-remove-all-pages.md - `transkribus_label_remove_pages` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-label-remove-pages.md - `transkribus_model_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-model-delete.md - `transkribus_model_delete_by_type` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-model-delete-by-type.md - `transkribus_model_remove_collection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-model-remove-collection.md - `transkribus_model_remove_collection_by_id` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-model-remove-collection-by-id.md - `transkribus_page_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-page-delete.md - `transkribus_page_delete_transcript` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-page-delete-transcript.md - `transkribus_recog_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-recog-delete.md - `transkribus_recog_remove_from_collection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-recog-remove-from-collection.md - `transkribus_search_reset_index` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-search-reset-index.md - `transkribus_upload_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-upload-delete.md - `transkribus_user_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-user-delete.md - `transkribus_admin_rebuild_models_index` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-admin-rebuild-models-index.md - `transkribus_du_recognize` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-du-recognize.md - `transkribus_job_create` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-job-create.md - `transkribus_job_restart_all_by_user` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus/transkribus-job-restart-all-by-user.md - …and 270 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lazyants-transkribus.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
