grep_docs

Find an EXACT literal token in raw doc files (markdown + lua). Use for specific weapon/ped/animation/prop/interior/zone names (weapon_pistol_volcanic, a_c_bear_01, p_campfire01x), known hashes (0x020D13FF), walkstyles/clipsets (MP_Style_Casual, mech_loco_m@), or any string you'd grep for.

Part of the Redm server.

grep_docs 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 grep_docs to retrieve information from Redm 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 grep_docs 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access grep_docs gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the grep_docs tool do? +

Find an EXACT literal token in raw doc files (markdown + lua). Use for specific weapon/ped/animation/prop/interior/zone names (weapon_pistol_volcanic, a_c_bear_01, p_campfire01x), known hashes (0x020D13FF), walkstyles/clipsets (MP_Style_Casual, mech_loco_m@), or any string you'd grep for. NOT for behavior/concept queries (use semantic_search) or script-native hash/name lookup (use lookup_native). REQUIRED for tokens inside the largest rdr3_discoveries data tables (audio_banks, ingameanims_list, cloth_drawable, cloth_hash_names, object_list, megadictanims, entity_extensions, imaps_with_coords, propsets_list, vehicle_bones) — only preview-indexed for embeddings, so semantic_search will NOT find tokens in them. Optional: contextBefore/contextAfter for ±N surrounding lines (saves a follow-up get_document call); filesOnly: true to get paths only (cheap exploration); multiline: true for cross-line patterns ((?s)foo.*bar). Pattern uses Rust regex syntax (rg engine). PREFER one targeted call over giant a|b|c|d|e alternations — split into separate calls; alternations rarely improve recall and bloat the regex automaton. Returns matched lines with path + line number. Long matched lines are windowed ±60 chars around the match (…); to read around a hit, use read_lines({path, start}) for the preview-only mega-tables listed above (get_document holds only their ~80-line head), or get_document({path}) for ordinary docs. If you are retrying after a previous pattern returned no matches, populate prior_attempt so the server can record what didn't work and steer alternative spellings.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Redm MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on grep_docs? +

Register the Redm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for grep_docs: 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 Redm. Nothing to install.

What risk level is grep_docs? +

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

Can I rate-limit grep_docs? +

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

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

grep_docs is provided by the Redm MCP server (https://redm-mcp.fivem.no/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Redm tool call.
