WHAT IT DOES

What global_search does on Businys

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

RISK

Why global_search is rated Low

This is a search/query function that retrieves and returns information without side effects. It reads data from multiple entity types (clients, leads, quotes, proposals, contracts, invoices, projects, bookings, pet profiles) but does not modify, delete, or execute any operations.

From the tool's definition The tool "Search across all entity types" with "Returns grouped results" indicates a read-only query operation. No creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external commands is mentioned.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs global_search safely

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

global_search Allowed

global_search 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": {
    "global_search": {}
  }
}

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Businys, apply this rule, and every global_search call is checked against it from then on.
