Retrieve metadata (title, pageid, size, last revid) for a Wikipedia article.
AI agents call get_article_info to retrieve information from Wikicitation without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves existing metadata from Wikipedia articles without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent could only over-request or spam queries, which would degrade availability rather than compromise data integrity or security. No write, destructive, execute, or financial operations are possible.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Retrieve[s] metadata (title, pageid, size, last revid)' — purely a query operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve metadata (title, pageid, size, last revid) for a Wikipedia article. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Wikicitation MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Wikicitation MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_article_info: 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 Wikicitation. Nothing to install.
get_article_info 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_article_info 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_article_info. 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_article_info is provided by the Wikicitation MCP server (jsobel1/wikicitation-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
