WHAT IT DOES

What search_templates does on Obsidian Elite RAG MCP Server

AI agents call search_templates to retrieve information from Obsidian Elite RAG MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why search_templates is rated Low

This is a straightforward search/query operation that retrieves and filters template information without side effects. Users cannot modify, delete, or execute templates through this tool—only view matching results. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose template metadata already stored in the system, with no ability to alter data or trigger external actions.

From the tool's definition Tool performs search functionality with read-only access to template metadata (names and descriptions). Description explicitly states it searches 'by keywords in template NAMES and DESCRIPTIONS only' with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_templates safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Obsidian Elite RAG MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search_templates, this is the rule to start with:

search_templates Allowed

search_templates is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_templates": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Obsidian Elite RAG MCP Server, apply this rule, and every search_templates call is checked against it from then on.
