RISK

Why search_hotels is rated Low

search_hotels is a read-only operation that retrieves and queries hotel availability and pricing data. While it returns information used to facilitate bookings downstream, the tool itself performs no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or charge. The description explicitly indicates it searches and returns results without state changes. This is a standard read operation with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search[es] live hotel availability' and 'Returns a price-sorted list of hotels'. The function performs a search query with no modification of data, no execution of arbitrary operations, and no financial transactions.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_hotels safely

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

search_hotels Allowed

search_hotels 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_hotels": {}
  }
}

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

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