- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server auth posture: open

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `limit` | number | no | Max results (optional) |
| `query` | string | yes | Search query |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search_sites",
    "arguments": {
      "query": "<query>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why search_sites is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries information (site names, metadata, text content) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an agent could exfiltrate information about existing sites but cannot deploy, delete, or alter them. This is a pure Read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs 'Full-text search across the authenticated account's sites (names, metadata, and text content)' — a query operation with no modification or deletion of data."

## Use case

AI agents call search_sites to retrieve information from Mcp 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 Mcp:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_sites": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
