AI agents call get_page to retrieve information from Wikimedia without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries existing page data from Wikimedia projects. It has no side effects—it only fetches information (content, title, URL, last modified date). This is a classic Read operation. The low severity reflects that misuse only exposes publicly available Wikipedia content.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate retrieval operation: 'Get Wikimedia page content, title, URL and last modified date' with parameters for page title and project. No modification, deletion, or execution capabilities mentioned.

get_page 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 get_page 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 get_page. 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.
get_page is provided by the Wikimedia MCP server (rapidmcp/wikimedia). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
