It is a read-only operation that queries existing data without creating, modifying, or deleting records. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could retrieve customer information unnecessarily, but cannot cause financial harm, data loss, or execute external operations. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'search' and description states 'Search for a customer... by email address' - a query operation with no modification or deletion." ## Use case AI agents call search_customers_by_email to retrieve information from Shopmonkey 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 Shopmonkey MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "search_customers_by_email": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Shopmonkey MCP Server (63) - `delete_canned_service` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/delete-canned-service.md - `delete_webhook` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/delete-webhook.md - `remove_canned_service_fee` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/remove-canned-service-fee.md - `remove_canned_service_labor` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/remove-canned-service-labor.md - `remove_canned_service_part` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/remove-canned-service-part.md - `remove_canned_service_subcontract` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/remove-canned-service-subcontract.md - `remove_canned_service_tire` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/remove-canned-service-tire.md - `create_payment` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/create-payment.md - `get_appointment` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/get-appointment.md - `get_canned_service` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/get-canned-service.md - `get_customer` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/get-customer.md - `get_inventory_part` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/get-inventory-part.md - `get_order` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/get-order.md - `get_payment` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/get-payment.md - `get_user` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/get-user.md - `get_vehicle` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/get-vehicle.md - `get_webhook` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/get-webhook.md - `list_appointments` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/list-appointments.md - `list_canned_services` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/list-canned-services.md - `list_customer_deferred_services` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/list-customer-deferred-services.md - `list_inventory_parts` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/list-inventory-parts.md - `list_inventory_tires` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/list-inventory-tires.md - `list_labor` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/list-labor.md - `list_locations` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/list-locations.md - `list_orders` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/list-orders.md - `list_payments` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/list-payments.md - `list_services` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/list-services.md - `list_timeclock` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/list-timeclock.md - `list_users` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/list-users.md - `list_vehicle_owners` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server/list-vehicle-owners.md - …and 33 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/abbottdevelopments-shopmonkey-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
