Get the structure and statistics of the knowledge graph
AI agents call get_graph_structure to retrieve information from LightRAG 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 metadata about an existing knowledge graph (its structure and statistics) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a pure read operation that queries the state of the system and returns information.
From the tool's definition Tool is named 'get_graph_structure' with description 'Get the structure and statistics of the knowledge graph'. The verb 'Get' and term 'statistics' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the structure and statistics of the knowledge graph. It is categorised as a Read tool in the LightRAG MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the LightRAG MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_graph_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 LightRAG MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_graph_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_graph_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_graph_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_graph_structure is provided by the LightRAG MCP Server MCP server (lalitsuryan/lightragmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
