Get hierarchical structure of document sections (headings, line ranges, metadata)
AI agents call list_document_sections to retrieve information from LODA MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns metadata about document organization (sections, headings, line ranges). It is purely informational retrieval with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The low severity reflects that exposing document structure poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent, as it cannot alter or act upon data.
From the tool's definition Tool provides 'hierarchical structure of document sections (headings, line ranges, metadata)' — a retrieval operation that returns structural information about documents with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get hierarchical structure of document sections (headings, line ranges, metadata). It is categorised as a Read tool in the LODA MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the LODA MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_document_sections: 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 LODA MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_document_sections 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 list_document_sections 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 list_document_sections. 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.
list_document_sections is provided by the LODA MCP Server MCP server (patrickkarle/loda-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
