Get statistics about a loaded document.
AI agents call get_document_stats to retrieve information from DocNav-MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries document metadata/statistics and returns information with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk.
From the tool's definition get_document_stats retrieves statistics about a loaded document without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. The server description emphasizes 'read, analyze' capabilities, and this tool fits the read pattern of extracting information.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get statistics about a loaded document. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DocNav-MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the DocNav- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_document_stats: 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 DocNav-MCP. Nothing to install.
get_document_stats 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_document_stats 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_document_stats. 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_document_stats is provided by the DocNav- MCP server (shenyimings/docnav-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
