`size`	string	—
`limit`	integer	—
`state`	string	—	German Bundesland of the shelter
`gender`	string	—
`breed_text`	string	—	Breed text as listed by the shelter (substring match)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why search_shelter_dogs is rated Low

Even though search_shelter_dogs 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_shelter_dogs safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Honestdog, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search_shelter_dogs, this is the rule to start with:

search_shelter_dogs Allowed

search_shelter_dogs is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_shelter_dogs": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Honestdog, apply this rule, and every search_shelter_dogs call is checked against it from then on.
