What semantic_search does on Iconnect

AI agents call semantic_search 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 semantic_search is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries data (semantic search) with no side effects. It performs a read-only search operation across existing Apple app data. While the server has broad macOS access and many tools, this specific tool's function is confined to searching/querying, placing it in the Read category with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Search across Apple app data by meaning, not just keywords.' The verb 'Search' and the scope 'across Apple app data' indicate information retrieval without modification or execution of external operations.

The rule that runs semantic_search 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 semantic_search, this is the rule to start with:

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