Enumerate pages of a document. Returns logical page numbers, IIIF image URLs, and text availability flags.
AI agents call get_item_pages to retrieve information from Gallica/BnF MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query operation on the Gallica digital library, retrieving structural and metadata information about document pages. There are no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no destructive or financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve metadata about available pages, which is the intended public library functionality.
From the tool's definition Tool 'get_item_pages' enumerates pages and returns metadata (logical page numbers, IIIF image URLs, text availability flags) without modifying any data. The description contains action verbs 'enumerate' and 'returns' indicating pure retrieval.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Enumerate pages of a document. Returns logical page numbers, IIIF image URLs, and text availability flags. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gallica/BnF MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Gallica/BnF MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_item_pages: 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 Gallica/BnF MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_item_pages 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_item_pages 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_item_pages. 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_item_pages is provided by the Gallica/BnF MCP Server MCP server (ukicar/sweet-bnf). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
