AI agents call path to retrieve information from Wikimcp 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 the relationship graph between wiki pages to find the shortest path. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. It is a pure read operation that returns navigational/structural information about existing wiki content.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'path' and description 'Shortest connection between two pages, with each hop's direction and edge type' indicates graph traversal/querying of existing wiki structure.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Shortest connection between two pages, with each hop's direction and edge type. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Wikimcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Wiki MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for path: 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 Wikimcp. Nothing to install.
path 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 path 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 path. 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.
path is provided by the Wiki MCP server (mohith-das/wikimcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
