Search for academic papers and return BibTeX citations. Searches DBLP (computer science) and Semantic Scholar (broad academic coverage) for comprehensive results. Returns formatted BibTeX entries ready to use in LaTeX documents.
AI agents call search_bibtex to retrieve information from Jina AI Remote 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 and queries academic paper metadata from public databases (DBLP, Semantic Scholar) to provide formatted citations. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not commit financial transactions. It is a pure read operation that fetches and formats existing data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search[es] for academic papers and return[s] BibTeX citations' from DBLP and Semantic Scholar. The verb 'search' and 'return' indicate data retrieval with no modification, creation, execution, or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search for academic papers and return BibTeX citations. Searches DBLP (computer science) and Semantic Scholar (broad academic coverage) for comprehensive results. Returns formatted BibTeX entries ready to use in LaTeX documents. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Jina AI Remote MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Jina AI Remote MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_bibtex: 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 Jina AI Remote MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search_bibtex 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 search_bibtex 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 search_bibtex. 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.
search_bibtex is provided by the Jina AI Remote MCP Server MCP server (matifema/jina-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
