What search does on Marketplace
AI agents call search to retrieve information from Marketplace 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | integer | — | Maximum number of results to return. |
query | string | Yes | Search terms to match against listing title, description, and tags. |
industry | string | — | Optional: restrict results to listings tagged for a specific industry vertical (matches industry_focus). |
category_slug | string | — | Optional: restrict results to one category slug. Call list_categories first for valid values. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why search is rated Low
This tool only retrieves and queries publicly available marketplace listing data. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, or affect financial transactions. It is explicitly marked as read-only and returns only summaries. The IP rate-limiting and public endpoint design further confirm it is a safe, passive discovery mechanism.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs search safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Marketplace, 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 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 Marketplace, apply this rule, and every search call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about search
Full-text search across GallanDigital's published, buyer-facing listings only. Read-only, no authentication required (public endpoint, IP rate-limited). Returns an array of listing summaries, each with title, slug, short_description, price_cents, currency, listing_type, complexity_level, category_slug, and a nested contributor object (slug, display_name). Use as the entry point for discovery -- pass a result's slug to fetch for full listing detail. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Marketplace MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
search accepts 4 parameters: limit, query, industry, category_slug. Required: query. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Marketplace 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 Marketplace. Nothing to install.
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 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 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.
search is provided by the Marketplace MCP server (https://gallandigital.com/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
