What search_events does on Iconnect
AI agents call search_events to retrieve information from Iconnect without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why search_events is rated Low
This tool retrieves calendar event data matching search criteria. It queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any side effects. The operation is purely informational and poses minimal security risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes event metadata the user already has access to.
From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Search events by keyword in title or description within a date range' — a read-only query operation with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs search_events safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Iconnect, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search_events, this is the rule to start with:
search_events is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Iconnect, apply this rule, and every search_events call is checked against it from then on.
