search_graph

Perform hybrid (keyword + semantic) search on a Fodda knowledge graph. Use this to find trends, articles, and concepts. Highly recommended for natural language discovery.

Part of the Fodda Knowledge Graphs server.

search_graph is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call search_graph to retrieve information from Fodda Knowledge Graphs without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though search_graph only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so search_graph only ever does what you allow.

What does the search_graph tool do? +

Perform hybrid (keyword + semantic) search on a Fodda knowledge graph. Use this to find trends, articles, and concepts. Highly recommended for natural language discovery.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Fodda Knowledge Graphs MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on search_graph? +

Register the Fodda Knowledge Graphs MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_graph: 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 Fodda Knowledge Graphs. Nothing to install.

What risk level is search_graph? +

search_graph is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit search_graph? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_graph 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.

How do I block search_graph completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for search_graph. 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.

What MCP server provides search_graph? +

search_graph is provided by the Fodda Knowledge Graphs MCP server (fodda/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Fodda Knowledge Graphs tool call.
