What find_products does on Choov MCP
AI agents call find_products to retrieve information from Choov MCP 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 | — | Free-text search (e.g. "energy-efficient fridge under 600€") |
category | string | — | Product category (e.g. "Haushaltsgeräte", "Software", "Versicherung") |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why find_products is rated Low
The tool retrieves product information from partner brands without modifying data or triggering side effects beyond returning search results. This is a classic Read operation (search/find). The server's focus on energy comparison and product information, combined with the lack of any language about orders, purchases, or modifications, confirms low-risk information retrieval.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Find products' and explicitly instructs to 'Use for any product category not covered by get_tariffs' — indicating search/query functionality. No language suggesting modification, creation, execution, deletion, or financial commitment.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs find_products safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Choov MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For find_products, this is the rule to start with:
find_products 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 Choov MCP, apply this rule, and every find_products call is checked against it from then on.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the find_products 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 find_products. 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.
find_products is provided by the Choov MCP server (https://www.choov.de/mcp.php). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
