Usage guides. No args → index.
AI agents call guide to retrieve information from Patentorney without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool simply returns documentation or usage guide content. It reads and presents information without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. Severity is low as misuse has negligible blast radius.
From the tool's definition 'Usage guides. No args → index.' — the tool retrieves and displays usage guide information with no side effects.

Register the Patentorney MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for guide: 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 Patentorney. Nothing to install.
guide 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 guide 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 guide. 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.
guide is provided by the Patentorney MCP server (retospect/patentorney-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
