Visualize the citation network as a directed graph.
AI agents call generate_citation_network to retrieve information from Q1 Crafter MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads citation data and renders it as a directed graph visualization. It does not modify, delete, execute code, or involve financial operations. It is a read/display operation with minimal blast radius if misused.
From the tool's definition 'Visualize the citation network as a directed graph' — purely generates a visual representation of existing citation relationships
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Visualize the citation network as a directed graph. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Q1 Crafter MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Q1 Crafter MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_citation_network: 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 Q1 Crafter MCP. Nothing to install.
generate_citation_network 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 generate_citation_network 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 generate_citation_network. 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.
generate_citation_network is provided by the Q1 Crafter MCP server (muslus/q1-crafter-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
