## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search_index",
    "arguments": {}

}
```

## Why search_index is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries data from an Azure AI Search index without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing side effects. It is a standard read operation with minimal risk unless the indexed documents themselves contain sensitive information—a concern of data sensitivity rather than tool capability.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'search_index' and description 'Search your Azure AI Search index' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification of data. Sibling tools (hybrid_search, keyword_search, vector_search, web_search) are all search/query operations."

## Use case

AI agents call search_index to retrieve information from Azure AI Agent Service + Azure AI Search MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Azure AI Agent Service + Azure AI Search MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_index": {}
  }
}
```
