List Zotero MCP endpoints from the Web UI hot config plus latest health status.
AI agents call list_zotero_mcp_endpoints to retrieve information from Scifinder Route without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and lists configuration endpoints and their health status. This is a pure read operation that queries existing state without modifying, executing, deleting, or causing irreversible changes. No financial implications. Severity is low because endpoint enumeration poses minimal direct risk; blast radius is limited to information disclosure about system configuration.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_zotero_mcp_endpoints' and description states it 'List[s] Zotero MCP endpoints from the Web UI hot config plus latest health status.' This is a retrieval/query operation with no side effects.

Register the Scifinder Route MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_zotero_mcp_endpoints: 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 Scifinder Route. Nothing to install.
list_zotero_mcp_endpoints 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 list_zotero_mcp_endpoints 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.
