Compute SciScore (proportion of journal citations) for wikitext.
AI agents call get_sci_score 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 retrieves and calculates a metric based on existing citation data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. It is a pure analytical function that scores citations, characteristic of Read category tools. Low severity because misuse would only produce incorrect analytical output, not data corruption, financial loss, or system compromise.
From the tool's definition Tool 'get_sci_score' computes and returns a proportion metric (SciScore) from provided wikitext; the verb 'compute' and 'proportion' indicate a read-only analysis operation with no side effects, data modification, or external state changes.

Compute SciScore (proportion of journal citations) for wikitext. 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_sci_score: 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_sci_score 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_sci_score 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_sci_score. 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_sci_score 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.
