Extract document structure: class, title, author, packages, and section hierarchy.
AI agents call get_latex_structure to retrieve information from MCP LaTeX Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads and analyzes document properties (class, title, author, packages, sections) to provide structural information. It performs no write operations, code execution, deletion, or financial transactions. The action is purely informational querying of existing document metadata, making it a Read operation with low severity risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_latex_structure' and description 'Extract document structure' indicate retrieval of document metadata and hierarchy without modification or execution.

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

Extract document structure: class, title, author, packages, and section hierarchy. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP LaTeX Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP LaTeX Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_latex_structure: 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 MCP LaTeX Server. Nothing to install.
get_latex_structure 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_latex_structure 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_latex_structure. 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_latex_structure is provided by the MCP LaTeX Server MCP server (robertodure/mcp-latex-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from MCP LaTeX Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
