WHAT IT DOES

What search_social_posts does on Tanod

AI agents call search_social_posts to retrieve information from Tanod 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
`limit`	integer	—	Most posts to return across both sources, 1-50 (default 20).
`query`	string	Yes	Search words or a quoted phrase (1-200 printable characters), such as x402 payments. Both sources match words, not meaning.
`since`	object	—	Optional: only posts newer than this. An ISO 8601 date or time (2026-10-12 or 2026-10-12T08:00:00Z, UTC when no zone is given) or a window back from now: 90m, 2
`sources`	object	—	Optional: which sources to search, bluesky and/or hackernews (default both). This is not X/Twitter search.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why search_social_posts is rated Low

Even though search_social_posts 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.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_social_posts safely

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

search_social_posts Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

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

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

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