What get_sequence does on LODA API MCP Server

AI agents call get_sequence to retrieve information from LODA API MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_sequence needs a policy

This tool only retrieves and queries mathematical sequence data from OEIS. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code, and does not delete or move resources. It is a straightforward read operation on a public mathematical database, presenting minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Retrieve detailed information about an integer sequence' - a purely retrieval operation with no modification or execution capability. The function is limited to querying sequence metadata and terms.

Questions about get_sequence

What does the get_sequence tool do? +

Retrieve detailed information about an integer sequence, including its terms, references, links, and keywords. The ID must match the sequence (e.g. A000045). It is categorised as a Read tool in the LODA API MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_sequence? +

Register the LODA API MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_sequence: 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 LODA API MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_sequence? +

get_sequence is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_sequence? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_sequence 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.

How do I block get_sequence completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_sequence. 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.

What MCP server provides get_sequence? +

get_sequence is provided by the LODA API MCP Server MCP server (loda-lang/loda-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
