Get the full content of a specific wiki article
AI agents call get_article to retrieve information from Kiwix Wiki MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns the content of an existing wiki article from a local offline database. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code, and does not delete or overwrite information. It is a straightforward read operation on static content, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_article' and description 'Get the full content of a specific wiki article' indicate pure data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Kiwix Wiki MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_article:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_article": {}
}
}get_article is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
