WHAT IT DOES

What searchGroupsWithId does on Fusionauth

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

RISK

Why searchGroupsWithId is rated Low

This tool performs a search operation to retrieve group information based on specified criteria and pagination parameters. Search operations are read-only and have no side effects—they do not create, modify, delete, or execute code. The action is limited to querying existing data, making it a Read category risk with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'searchGroupsWithId' and description 'Searches groups with the specified criteria and pagination' indicate a query/search operation that retrieves data without modification.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs searchGroupsWithId safely

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

searchGroupsWithId Allowed

searchGroupsWithId 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": {
    "searchGroupsWithId": {}
  }
}

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

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