What search-actions does on Nostr Bray
AI agents call search-actions to retrieve information from Nostr Bray without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why search-actions is rated Low
This tool performs a search operation across a catalog of actions, which is a read-only query operation. It retrieves information matching a description but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The blast radius is minimal as it only returns search results without side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search-actions' and description 'Search...actions by describing what you want to do' indicate data retrieval/querying functionality with no modification or execution capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs search-actions safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nostr Bray, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search-actions, this is the rule to start with:
search-actions 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 Nostr Bray, apply this rule, and every search-actions call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Nostr Bray MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search-actions: 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 Nostr Bray. Nothing to install.
search-actions 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 search-actions 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 search-actions. 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.
search-actions is provided by the Nostr Bray MCP server (nostr-bray). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
