Get markdown content for specified knowledge documents

How to control get_knowledge_doc ↓

AI agents call get_knowledge_doc to retrieve information from BNB Chain MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves and returns markdown documentation content. It is a read-only operation that queries knowledge documents without side effects, making it a 'Read' category tool. The severity is low because retrieval of knowledge documentation poses minimal security risk unless the documents themselves contain sensitive information, which is not indicated in the description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_knowledge_doc' and description 'Get markdown content for specified knowledge documents' indicate retrieval of static documentation content with no modification or execution capability.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_knowledge_doc gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and BNB Chain MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_knowledge_doc:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_knowledge_doc": {}
  }
}

get_knowledge_doc is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register BNB Chain MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
