What search_packages does on Gitsim Chat
AI agents call search_packages to retrieve information from Gitsim Chat 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
name | string | — | Case-insensitive substring match on package name |
page | integer | — | Page number (1-based, default 1). Each page returns up to 10 results. |

is_regional | boolean | — | true = only multi-country/regional packages (e.g. Europe, Asia). false = only single-country packages. Omit for both. |
max_data_gb | number | — | Maximum data in GB. For daily packages this is the per-day amount. |
min_data_gb | number | — | Minimum data in GB. For daily packages this is the per-day amount. |
max_duration_days | number | — | Maximum duration in days |

Why search_packages is rated Low
search_packages performs a search query that returns filtered and paginated results. It has no side effects, does not create, modify, delete, or execute external operations. The function is purely informational, displaying available eSIM packages to facilitate user browsing before purchase. Even though this is part of an eSIM management platform, the tool itself only reads and returns data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states: 'Search for eSIM data packages by country. Returns up to 10 packages per page sorted by price. Use the page parameter to paginate.

The rule that runs search_packages safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Gitsim Chat, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search_packages, this is the rule to start with:
search_packages 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 Gitsim Chat, apply this rule, and every search_packages call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about search_packages
Search for eSIM data packages by country. Returns up to 10 packages per page sorted by price. Use the page parameter to paginate. No auth required. Call get_business_context first to understand IP routing and package types. Package types: - "regular": Fixed data pool (e.g. 3GB for 30 days). Best for most travelers. - "daily": Data resets each day (e.g. 2GB/day for 5 days). Good for short trips with predictable daily usage. Top-up days are available. IP routing (important for Asia): - "breakout": Local IP in destination country. Best for streaming, banking, social media. ALWAYS recommend by default. - "hk": Hong Kong IP. Cheapest but TikTok app and Facebook app are BLOCKED. - "nonhk": Third-country IP (UK, Singapore). No HK restrictions but IP won't match destination. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gitsim Chat MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
search_packages accepts 10 parameters: name, page, type, country, ip_route, is_regional, max_data_gb, min_data_gb, max_duration_days, min_duration_days. Required: country. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Gitsim Chat MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_packages: 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 Gitsim Chat. Nothing to install.
search_packages 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_packages 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_packages. 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_packages is provided by the Gitsim Chat MCP server (https://chat.gitsim.com/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
