Read a raw source document
AI agents call raw_read to retrieve information from Agent Wiki 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 operation on source documents with no side effects. It retrieves data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The term 'raw' suggests unprocessed source access, but the action remains purely informational.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'raw_read' and description 'Read a raw source document' explicitly indicate data retrieval with no modification capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Read a raw source document. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Agent Wiki MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Agent Wiki MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for raw_read: 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 Agent Wiki. Nothing to install.
raw_read 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 raw_read 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 raw_read. 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.
raw_read is provided by the Agent Wiki MCP server (xinhuagu/agent-wiki). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
