Returns complete details for a given API endpoint path: path parameters, query parameters,
AI agents call endpoint-detail to retrieve information from Swagger 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 presents OpenAPI/Swagger documentation details about endpoints. It has no side effects—it does not execute API calls, modify data, delete anything, or trigger external operations. It is purely informational inspection of API specifications, squarely within the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool 'endpoint-detail' returns complete details for a given API endpoint including path parameters and query parameters. The description uses 'returns', indicating data retrieval with no modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Returns complete details for a given API endpoint path: path parameters, query parameters,. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Swagger MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Swagger MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for endpoint-detail: 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 Swagger MCP Server. Nothing to install.
endpoint-detail 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 endpoint-detail 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 endpoint-detail. 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.
endpoint-detail is provided by the Swagger MCP Server MCP server (nksmkj7/swagger-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
