n | integer | — | How many top results to return and fetch the page Markdown of (1-5, default 3). |
q | string | Yes | Search query (plain text). |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why search_with_contents is rated Low
Even though search_with_contents 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
The rule that runs search_with_contents 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_with_contents, this is the rule to start with:
search_with_contents 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 Tanod, apply this rule, and every search_with_contents call is checked against it from then on.
