Get the hierarchical section structure of a specific document (table of contents).
AI agents call get_document_structure to retrieve information from RAG Document Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query to retrieve the table of contents or structural metadata of a document. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify or delete data, and does not involve financial operations. The hierarchical structure retrieval is a straightforward informational query, placing it firmly in the Read category with low severity risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_document_structure' and description 'Get the hierarchical section structure of a specific document' indicate a retrieval operation that returns metadata about document organization without modifying any data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the hierarchical section structure of a specific document (table of contents). It is categorised as a Read tool in the RAG Document Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RAG Document Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_document_structure: 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 RAG Document Server. Nothing to install.
get_document_structure 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 get_document_structure 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 get_document_structure. 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.
get_document_structure is provided by the RAG Document Server MCP server (jaimeferj/mcp-rag-docs). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
