Extracts actual paper IDs from search results for easier citation analysis.
AI agents call extract_paper_ids to retrieve information from Basic MCP Application without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a pure extraction/parsing operation on already-retrieved search results to identify and structure paper identifiers. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, delete information, or commit financial transactions. It is a straightforward read operation that transforms existing data into a more usable format.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'extract_paper_ids' and description 'Extracts actual paper IDs from search results' indicate data retrieval and parsing of existing search results with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Extracts actual paper IDs from search results for easier citation analysis. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Basic MCP Application MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Basic MCP Application MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for extract_paper_ids: 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 Basic MCP Application. Nothing to install.
extract_paper_ids 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 extract_paper_ids 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 extract_paper_ids. 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.
extract_paper_ids is provided by the Basic MCP Application MCP server (priteshshah96/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
