What search_agents does on AgentVeil Protocol

AI agents call search_agents to retrieve information from AgentVeil Protocol without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why search_agents is rated Low

Despite the empty description lowering confidence slightly, the tool name and server context (agent registry and reputation infrastructure) indicate this performs a search/query operation that retrieves data about agents. No side effects, modifications, or execution are implied. Classified as Read with low severity since search operations on a registry have minimal blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_agents' indicates a query operation. Description is empty, but sibling tools like 'search_avp_agents' and context of agent registry suggest this retrieves or lists agent data without modification.

The rule that runs search_agents safely

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

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