WHAT IT DOES

What adb_registry_search does on Deepadb

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

RISK

Why adb_registry_search is rated Low

This tool queries a plugin registry to display available plugins and their metadata. It has no side effects, does not execute code, create, modify, or delete data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an AI agent could at most retrieve information about available plugins, which is not harmful. Categorized as Read with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Search[es] the community plugin registry' and 'Shows name, description, version, and author' — purely informational retrieval with no modification or execution.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs adb_registry_search safely

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

adb_registry_search Allowed

adb_registry_search is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "adb_registry_search": {}
  }
}

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

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