WHAT IT DOES

What search_datasets does on CLIO Adios

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

RISK

Why search_datasets is rated Low

This tool queries an existing data repository (NDP) using search parameters to locate datasets. It retrieves information without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or moving funds. The operation is non-destructive and read-only, making it a standard Read category risk with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_datasets' and description 'Search for datasets in the NDP using term-based or field-specific criteria' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_datasets safely

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

search_datasets Allowed

search_datasets 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": {
    "search_datasets": {}
  }
}

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

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