It performs a search operation to find information matching specified criteria (keywords, location, industry, network distance). No data creation, modification, deletion, or code execution is involved. The tool is purely informational and read-only in nature. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Search LinkedIn' with filtering capabilities. The term 'search' combined with read-only operations (finding people, companies, jobs, posts) with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution of actions." Risk signals: Accepts URL/endpoint input (url) · High parameter count (10 properties) ## Use case AI agents call linkedin_search to retrieve information from Dialogbrain without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Dialogbrain: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "linkedin_search": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Dialogbrain (224) - `agents_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/agents-delete.md - `agents_trigger_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/agents-trigger-delete.md - `ai_filters_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/ai-filters-delete.md - `ai_tags_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/ai-tags-delete.md - `calendar_delete_event` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/calendar-delete-event.md - `collections_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/collections-delete.md - `files_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/files-delete.md - `folders_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/folders-delete.md - `integrations_remove_endpoints` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/integrations-remove-endpoints.md - `messages_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/messages-delete.md - `notes_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/notes-delete.md - `reminder_cancel` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/reminder-cancel.md - `tasks_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/tasks-delete.md - `threads_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/threads-delete.md - `widgets_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/widgets-delete.md - `youtube_delete_comment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/youtube-delete-comment.md - `youtube_delete_video` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/youtube-delete-video.md - `agent_handoff` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/agent-handoff.md - `agents_simulate_inbound` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/agents-simulate-inbound.md - `android_launch_app` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/android-launch-app.md - `android_shell` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/android-shell.md - `android_ui_dump` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/android-ui-dump.md - `background_run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/background-run.md - `browser_attach_meet` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/browser-attach-meet.md - `browser_click` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/browser-click.md - `browser_close` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/browser-close.md - `browser_drag` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/browser-drag.md - `browser_evaluate` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/browser-evaluate.md - `browser_fill` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/browser-fill.md - `browser_fill_form` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain/browser-fill-form.md - …and 194 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-saloprj-dialogbrain.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
