Returns the current version number of the Swagger MCP Server.
AI agents call version to retrieve information from Swagger MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only query that retrieves metadata (version information) about the server itself. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The operation has no side effects and presents minimal risk even if called inappropriately by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool returns the current version number - a simple retrieval operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access version gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Swagger MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for version:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"version": {}
}
}version is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Returns the current version number of the Swagger MCP Server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Swagger MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Swagger MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for version: 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 Swagger MCP. Nothing to install.
version 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 version 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 version. 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.
version is provided by the Swagger MCP server (vizioz/swagger-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
