AI agents call search_torrents to retrieve information from M-Team MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves torrent search results from a private tracker API with no side effects on the tracker itself. However, the medium severity reflects that searches on private torrent trackers could facilitate unauthorized copyright infringement or access to restricted content, creating reputational and legal risk even though the tool itself is read-only.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_torrents' indicates a query/search operation. Server description confirms it 'enables AI assistants to interact with M-Team private torrent tracker API for searching resources.' The tool description is empty, providing no additional detail.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and M-Team MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_torrents:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"search_torrents": {}
}
}search_torrents is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
