Load a document for analysis. Call this first before querying.

How to control lattice_load ↓

AI agents call lattice_load to retrieve information from Lattice without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Loading a document is a read operation that retrieves or prepares data for analysis without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing arbitrary code. The workflow pattern (load → query) confirms this is data retrieval.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Load a document for analysis' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. Context shows this is the initial step in a document processing workflow before querying.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access lattice_load gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Lattice, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for lattice_load:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "lattice_load": {}
  }
}

lattice_load is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Lattice — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the lattice_load tool do? +

Load a document for analysis. Call this first before querying. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Lattice MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on lattice_load? +

Register the Lattice MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for lattice_load: 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 Lattice. Nothing to install.

What risk level is lattice_load? +

lattice_load is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit lattice_load? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the lattice_load 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.

How do I block lattice_load completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for lattice_load. 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.

What MCP server provides lattice_load? +

lattice_load is provided by the Lattice MCP server (yogthos/matryoshka). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Lattice tool call.
