What research does on Prism — Data Enrichment for AI Agents
AI agents call research to retrieve information from Prism — Data Enrichment for AI Agents without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why research is rated Low
This is a search and aggregation tool that queries publicly available information sources and returns results. While it incurs a per-call cost, the cost is a consumption metric, not a financial commitment or money movement—the tool itself does not move funds or create obligations. The primary action is information retrieval with no side effects on the queried systems or data stores.
From the tool's definition Tool performs 'multi-platform meta-search' across public information sources (web, GitHub, Hacker News, Stack Overflow, arXiv, academic papers, Wikipedia, news).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs research safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Prism — Data Enrichment for AI Agents, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For research, this is the rule to start with:
research 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 Prism — Data Enrichment for AI Agents, apply this rule, and every research call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about research
Multi-platform meta-search — web, GitHub, Hacker News, Stack Overflow, arXiv, academic papers, Wikipedia, news in ONE ca Cost: $0.005–$0.05 USDC on Base per call. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Prism — Data Enrichment for AI Agents MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
research accepts 1 parameter: arg. Required: arg. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Prism — Data Enrichment for AI Agents MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for research: 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 Prism — Data Enrichment for AI Agents. Nothing to install.
research 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 research 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 research. 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.
research is provided by the Prism — Data Enrichment for AI Agents MCP server (https://enrich.gocreativeai.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
