WHAT IT DOES

What search does on GleanMark Trademark Search

AI agents call search to retrieve information from GleanMark Trademark Search 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	Search terms — a mark name, a brand, or an owner name. Example: "spicy coke" or "Apple Inc".

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why search is rated Low

Even though search only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

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 GleanMark Trademark Search, 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 GleanMark Trademark Search, apply this rule, and every search call is checked against it from then on.

Search GleanMark's USPTO trademark database and return citable results. Each result is a US trademark record with a stable id, a human-readable title (mark, owner and status) and a public gleanmark.com URL. Use the fetch tool with a returned id to read the full record. Covers 14M+ USPTO applications and registrations, live and dead. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GleanMark Trademark Search MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does search accept? +

How do I enforce a policy on search? +

Register the GleanMark Trademark Search 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 GleanMark Trademark Search. 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? +
