What linear_search does on Allmcp
AI agents call linear_search to retrieve information from Allmcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why linear_search is rated Low
The name 'linear_search' strongly suggests a retrieval or query operation with no side effects. Search operations typically retrieve data without modification. Confidence is moderate (0.7) rather than high because the description is empty and actual behavior cannot be verified from the name alone; however, 'search' as a verb pattern conventionally maps to Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'linear_search' indicates a search operation. No description provided to confirm functionality.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs linear_search safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Allmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For linear_search, this is the rule to start with:
linear_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 Allmcp, apply this rule, and every linear_search call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about linear_search
linear_search is a read tool on the All MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Allmcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the All MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for linear_search: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Allmcp. Nothing to install.
linear_search is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the linear_search rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for linear_search. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
linear_search is provided by the All MCP server (Perception-Dynamics-Inc/allmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
