WHAT IT DOES

What search_products does on Ncp

AI agents call search_products to retrieve information from Ncp 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_products is rated Low

This tool queries a product database and returns results. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute external operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation, fitting the Read category with low severity since unauthorized product search exposure is unlikely to cause significant harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'search_products' and description states 'Search Magento products'. The verb 'search' is a read-only operation that retrieves data without modifying state.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_products safely

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

search_products Allowed

search_products 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_products": {}
  }
}

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

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