How to control multi_get ↓

AI agents call multi_get to retrieve information from MinerU Document Explorer 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 or fetches documents matching a glob pattern without creating, modifying, or deleting data. It has no side effects beyond data retrieval. The glob pattern mechanism for bulk retrieval does not escalate the risk category—it remains a read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'multi_get' and description 'Retrieve multiple documents by glob pattern' indicate retrieval/query operation with no modification capability.

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

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

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

multi_get 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 MinerU Document Explorer — 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.
