Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs search_docs 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 search_docs, this is the rule to start with:
search_docs 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 search_docs call is checked against it from then on.

Register the 0sec MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_docs: 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.
search_docs 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 search_docs 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 search_docs. 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.
search_docs 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.
