What web_search does on QuintaDB
AI agents call web_search to retrieve information from QuintaDB 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 | Пошуковий запит, напр. 'книга Фантасти на війні видавництво Мрієлов' |

Why web_search is rated Low
The tool retrieves and queries external web data via Google search, returning summaries and URLs. While it performs a Read operation (data retrieval with no side effects), severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because: (1) it returns untrusted external data ('недовірені дані' - untrusted data) which could be used to mislead an AI agent or inject false information into workflows, (2) results depend…
From the tool's definition Tool performs 'web_search' to 'знайти актуальну інформацію в інтернеті' (find current information on the internet) and 'Повертає короткий підсумок і список джерел' (returns brief summary and list of sources/URLs).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs web_search safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and QuintaDB, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For web_search, this is the rule to start with:
web_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 QuintaDB, apply this rule, and every web_search call is checked against it from then on.
