search_all

Search every Agentorist vertical at once — the answer to "what's on?". Use this when the user's request spans verticals or doesn't clearly name one ("what's on tonight", "anything to do in Boston?", "Friday night plans"). For specific single-vertical queries ("movies tonight", "Italian restaurant...

search_all is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call search_all to retrieve information from Agentorist without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though search_all only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so search_all only ever does what you allow.

What does the search_all tool do? +

Search every Agentorist vertical at once — the answer to "what's on?". Use this when the user's request spans verticals or doesn't clearly name one ("what's on tonight", "anything to do in Boston?", "Friday night plans"). For specific single-vertical queries ("movies tonight", "Italian restaurants"), search_all auto-narrows to the hinted vertical so you don't waste calls. Returns results_by_vertical keyed by movies/events/local, plus total_count and bookable_total for quick summaries.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Agentorist MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on search_all? +

Register the Agentorist MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_all: 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 Agentorist. Nothing to install.

What risk level is search_all? +

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

Can I rate-limit search_all? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_all 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_all completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for search_all. 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_all? +

search_all is provided by the Agentorist MCP server (https://mcp.agentorist.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Agentorist tool call.
