What science.materials.elasticity does on Apibase
AI agents call science.materials.elasticity to retrieve information from Apibase 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
material_id | string | Yes | Materials Project ID (e.g. "mp-149"). Returns bulk/shear modulus, Poisson ratio, elastic tensor |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why science.materials.elasticity is rated Low
Tool queries material property database; returns read-only scientific data without modifications or external effects.
From the tool's definition Get mechanical/elastic properties for a material; retrieves data with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs science.materials.elasticity safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Apibase, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For science.materials.elasticity, this is the rule to start with:
science.materials.elasticity is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Apibase, apply this rule, and every science.materials.elasticity call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about science.materials.elasticity
Get mechanical/elastic properties for a material: bulk modulus, shear modulus (Voigt-Reuss-Hill averages), universal anisotropy index, Poisson ratio, and full 6x6 elastic tensor (IEEE format). Essential for structural materials screening and mechanical simulations (Materials Project). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Apibase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
science.materials.elasticity accepts 1 parameter: material_id. Required: material_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Apibase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for science.materials.elasticity: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Apibase. Nothing to install.
science.materials.elasticity is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the science.materials.elasticity rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for science.materials.elasticity. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
science.materials.elasticity is provided by the Apibase MCP server (apibase-mcp-client). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
