search_kpi

Find Kolada KPI (indicator) ids by title substring (Swedish). Searches ~5,000 indicators covering economy, schools, health, demographics, and personnel. Returns id, title, description, operating_area, and is_divided_by_gender. Use the returned id with get_data.

Part of the Kolada Se server.

search_kpi 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_kpi to retrieve information from Kolada Se 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_kpi 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_kpi 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_kpi only ever does what you allow.

What does the search_kpi tool do? +

Find Kolada KPI (indicator) ids by title substring (Swedish). Searches ~5,000 indicators covering economy, schools, health, demographics, and personnel. Returns id, title, description, operating_area, and is_divided_by_gender. Use the returned id with get_data.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kolada Se MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on search_kpi? +

Register the Kolada Se MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_kpi: 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 Kolada Se. Nothing to install.

What risk level is search_kpi? +

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

Can I rate-limit search_kpi? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_kpi 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_kpi completely? +

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

search_kpi is provided by the Kolada Se MCP server (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/kolada-se/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Kolada Se tool call.
