WHAT IT DOES

What search does on Mcp Server

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	Yes	Free-text query, e.g. "data centers in Northern Virginia" or "Ashburn hyperscale power"

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why search is rated Low

This is a pure search/query tool that retrieves and lists existing data-center facility records. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, and serves only to discover and surface information. The severity is low because even if an AI agent performs broad or unexpected searches, the worst outcome is information exposure from a publicly-available data catalog.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Returns a list of matching data-center facilities as {id, title, url}' and directs users to 'pass an id to the fetch tool' or 'open the url' — indicating retrieval without modification.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search safely

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

search Allowed

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": {
    "search": {}
  }
}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about search

What does the search tool do? +

Search DC Hub for relevant records (OpenAI Deep Research / ChatGPT connector format). Returns a list of matching data-center facilities as {id, title, url}; pass an id to the fetch tool for the record, or open the url to cite the live facility page. For structured queries (by MW, operator, status, market) use search_facilities directly. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does search accept? +

search accepts 1 parameter: query. Required: query. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on search? +

Register the Mcp Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 Mcp Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is search? +

search is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit search? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the 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.

How do I block search completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for 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.

What MCP server provides search? +

search is provided by the Mcp Server MCP server (https://dchub.cloud/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
