Get document metadata (page count, sheet count, slide count, file size, etc.)
AI agents call get_document_info to retrieve information from Docsmith MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and returns metadata about documents without creating, modifying, executing code, deleting data, or moving money. It has minimal blast radius even if misused by an AI agent, as the worst outcome would be information disclosure about document structure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_document_info' and description explicitly states it retrieves document metadata (page count, sheet count, slide count, file size, etc.) with no modification or execution capabilities mentioned.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get document metadata (page count, sheet count, slide count, file size, etc.). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Docsmith MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Docsmith MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_document_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 Docsmith MCP. Nothing to install.
get_document_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_document_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_document_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_document_info is provided by the Docsmith MCP server (mcpc-tech/docsmith-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_document_info is one line of Docsmith's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
