What find_related does on AirMCP
AI agents call find_related to retrieve information from AirMCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why find_related is rated Low
This tool retrieves and queries existing data across indexed Apple applications based on semantic relationships. The read-only designation and the nature of semantic search—which locates and returns related items without side effects—firmly places it in the Read category. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'read-only' and performs a semantic search/retrieval operation ('Find items semantically related') without modifying data. No mutation, deletion, or execution of external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs find_related safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AirMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For find_related, this is the rule to start with:
find_related 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 AirMCP, apply this rule, and every find_related call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about find_related
Find items semantically related to a note, event, reminder, or email ID across indexed Apple apps — read-only; requires semantic_index to be built first. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AirMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Air MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_related: 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 AirMCP. Nothing to install.
find_related 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 find_related 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 find_related. 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.
find_related is provided by the Air MCP server (airmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
