Get detailed information about a specific PQC algorithm
AI agents call pqc_algorithm_info to retrieve information from Post-Quantum Cryptography 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 and queries information about post-quantum cryptographic algorithms without causing side effects, modifying data, executing code, or performing any financial transactions. It is a pure information lookup function, which is the definition of a Read operation. The blast radius if misused is minimal—an AI agent can only obtain public cryptographic algorithm specifications.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'pqc_algorithm_info' with description 'Get detailed information about a specific PQC algorithm'. The verb 'Get' and the absence of any modification, execution, or destructive capability indicate this is a retrieval operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information about a specific PQC algorithm. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Post-Quantum Cryptography MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Post-Quantum Cryptography MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pqc_algorithm_info: 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 Post-Quantum Cryptography MCP Server. Nothing to install.
pqc_algorithm_info 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 pqc_algorithm_info 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 pqc_algorithm_info. 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.
pqc_algorithm_info is provided by the Post-Quantum Cryptography MCP Server MCP server (scottdhughes/post-quantum-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
pqc_algorithm_info is one line of Post-Quantum Cryptography 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.
