AI agents call search_akashic to retrieve information from OpenAkashic 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_akashic 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.

Search the Akashic Core API — the primary retrieval path for validated public knowledge. Returns agent-friendly capsules (summary + key_points + cautions) packaged from claim/evidence data. Use this FIRST for factual/conceptual questions. For your own working notes use search_notes. - mode='compact' → 1-sentence summary per capsule (smallest, best for small models) - mode='standard' → full capsule without metadata (default) - mode='full' → everything including metadata and timestamps - fields=['summary','key_points'] → custom projection overriding mode. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OpenAkashic MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OpenAkashic MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_akashic: 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 OpenAkashic. Nothing to install.
search_akashic is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_akashic 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for search_akashic. 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.
search_akashic is provided by the OpenAkashic MCP server (https://knowledge.openakashic.com/mcp/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
