WHAT IT DOES

What search_notes does on AirMCP

AI agents call search_notes 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.

RISK

Why search_notes is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries note data without side effects. It performs a search operation that returns results with a preview, matching the Read category definition (retrieves or queries data; no side effects). The severity is low because unauthorized access to notes, while a privacy concern, does not enable destructive, financial, or system-level damage compared to other tool categories.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Search notes by keyword in title and body. Returns matching notes with a 200-char preview.' The verb 'search' and the return-only nature (no modification, deletion, or execution) clearly indicate a read operation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_notes 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 search_notes, this is the rule to start with:

search_notes Allowed

search_notes 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_notes": {}
  }
}

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

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