What find_seeds does on 0sec
AI agents call find_seeds to retrieve information from 0sec without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why find_seeds is rated Low
Even though find_seeds only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs find_seeds safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 0sec, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For find_seeds, this is the rule to start with:
find_seeds is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 0sec, apply this rule, and every find_seeds call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about find_seeds
List existing seed/corpus/test input files in the repo (under corpus/, seeds/, test*/). For complex binary formats, MUTATING a seed beats building from scratch. It is categorised as a Read tool in the 0sec MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the 0sec MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_seeds: 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 0sec. Nothing to install.
find_seeds 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 find_seeds 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 find_seeds. 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.
find_seeds is provided by the 0sec MCP server (0sec-labs/0sec). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
