WHAT IT DOES

What cordis.research.project_search does on Apibase

AI agents call cordis.research.project_search to retrieve information from Apibase without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`limit`	integer	—	Maximum number of results to return (1-20, default 10)
`query`	string	Yes	Keyword(s) to search in project titles (e.g. "artificial intelligence", "climate change", "renewable energy")
`status`	string	—	Project lifecycle status filter. SIGNED = active/running, CLOSED = completed, TERMINATED = cancelled early.
`year_to`	integer	—	Filter projects starting on or before this year (e.g. 2027)
`year_from`	integer	—	Filter projects starting on or after this year (e.g. 2020 for Horizon Europe era)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs cordis.research.project_search safely

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

cordis.research.project_search Allowed

cordis.research.project_search 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": {
    "cordis.research.project_search": {}
  }
}

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

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