Get detailed information about a research topic.
AI agents call get_topic_info to retrieve information from Kavi Research Assistant without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and returns existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing arbitrary operations. It poses minimal security risk as it only exposes information already stored in the research database. No destructive, financial, or execution capabilities are present.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get detailed information about a research topic' — this is a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information about a research topic. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kavi Research Assistant MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kavi Research Assistant MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_topic_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 Kavi Research Assistant. Nothing to install.
get_topic_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_topic_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_topic_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_topic_info is provided by the Kavi Research Assistant MCP server (machhakiran/kavi-research-assistant-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
