What knowledge_search does on Templonix Lite MCP Server
AI agents call knowledge_search to retrieve information from Templonix Lite MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why knowledge_search is rated Low
This tool performs a query operation on stored documents to retrieve information. There is no modification, deletion, execution of code, or financial impact. The operation is purely informational and non-destructive, fitting the Read category with low severity as misuse would only result in unintended information disclosure rather than data loss or system compromise.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search[es] the knowledge base for information from ingested documents' and 'searches ONLY the knowledge namespace'. The verb 'search' and the read-only nature of querying ingested documents indicates retrieval without side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs knowledge_search safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Templonix Lite MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For knowledge_search, this is the rule to start with:
knowledge_search 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 Templonix Lite MCP Server, apply this rule, and every knowledge_search call is checked against it from then on.
