Part of the Prxhub server.

search_bundles 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 search_bundles to retrieve information from Prxhub 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 search_bundles 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 search_bundles 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 search_bundles only ever does what you allow.

What does the search_bundles tool do? +

Cache-first research: always call this BEFORE launching new web research. Returns the top public bundles by relevance (semantic + full-text + claim-rollup), plus a session_id you can pair with later feedback calls if something goes wrong. Recommended flow when results come back: 1. Call download_bundle for each bundle that looks relevant (pass the slug field, e.g. 'harness-test/grid-parity-2035'). 2. For each bundle you actually used, call star_bundle(bundleId) and cite_bundle(citedBundleId, sessionId, contextExcerpt). 3. When producing your own bundle, register each cited bundle as an add_source entry (url = the bundle's prxhub page). The viewer renders them as an 'Inherits from' panel. 4. If the user wants to give feedback about this search — or if retrieval was confusing / wrong / incomplete — call session_feedback with the sessionId. Skip if everything went smoothly.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Prxhub MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on search_bundles? +

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

What risk level is search_bundles? +

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

Can I rate-limit search_bundles? +

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

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

search_bundles is provided by the Prxhub MCP server (https://prxhub.com/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Prxhub tool call.
