AI agents call get_enriched_citations to retrieve information from USPTO Patent MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name contains 'get', indicating a read operation. No description provided, limiting confidence, but context of sibling retrieval tools and USPTO patent data access suggests this queries enriched citation information (likely adding context, scoring, or relationships to patent citations). No modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations are implied. Classified as Read with medium-high confidence.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_enriched_citations' indicates data retrieval. Based on server context (USPTO patent data access) and sibling tools (get_citation_metrics, get_office_action_citations) which are query/retrieval functions, this tool retrieves citation metadata…

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and USPTO Patent MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_enriched_citations:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_enriched_citations": {}
}
}get_enriched_citations is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

get_enriched_citations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the USPTO Patent MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the USPTO Patent MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_enriched_citations: 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 USPTO Patent MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_enriched_citations 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_enriched_citations 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_enriched_citations. 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_enriched_citations is provided by the USPTO Patent MCP Server MCP server (riemannzeta/patent_mcp_server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
