search_documents 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_documents to retrieve information from Mkdshare DEV 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_documents 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.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so search_documents only ever does what you allow.

What does the search_documents tool do? +

Search mkdshare.DEV documents by title and content. Returns documents owned by or shared with the authenticated user that match the query.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mkdshare DEV MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on search_documents? +

Register the Mkdshare DEV MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_documents: 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 Mkdshare DEV. Nothing to install.

What risk level is search_documents? +

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

Can I rate-limit search_documents? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_documents 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_documents completely? +

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

search_documents is provided by the Mkdshare DEV MCP server (https://mkdshare.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Mkdshare DEV tool call.
