Get the outline/structure of a documentation page
AI agents call get_page_outline to retrieve information from MkDocs MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves structural/organizational metadata from existing documentation without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a pure read operation analogous to fetching document structure. The blast radius of misuse is negligible—an attacker could at worst enumerate documentation structure, which is already public.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] the outline/structure of a documentation page' - a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the outline/structure of a documentation page. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MkDocs MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MkDocs MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_page_outline: 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 MkDocs MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_page_outline 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_outline 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_outline. 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_outline is provided by the MkDocs MCP Server MCP server (robmatesick/mkdocs-mcp-example). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_page_outline is one line of MkDocs MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
