WHAT IT DOES

What reindex does on MCP Framework Personal

AI agents call reindex to retrieve information from MCP Framework Personal without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why reindex is rated Low

Even though reindex 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

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs reindex safely

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

reindex Allowed

reindex 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": {
    "reindex": {}
  }
}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about reindex

What does the reindex tool do? +

Reindex the knowledge base. Requires KB_ALLOW_WRITE=true. Parameters: full (bool, default false for incremental). It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Framework Personal MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on reindex? +

Register the MCP Framework Personal MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reindex: 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 MCP Framework Personal. Nothing to install.

What risk level is reindex? +

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

Can I rate-limit reindex? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the reindex 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 reindex completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for reindex. 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 reindex? +

reindex is provided by the MCP Framework Personal MCP server (inggerman/mcps). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
