Part of the Tc39 server.

test262.search 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 test262.search to retrieve information from Tc39 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 test262.search 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.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so test262.search only ever does what you allow.

What does the test262.search tool do? +

Search the tc39/test262 conformance suite from its indexed front-matter. query AND-matches whitespace tokens (case-insensitive) across each test's description + path; esid prefix-matches the front-matter esid. Returns ranked hits (path, GitHub url at the indexed SHA, esid, description, features, flags), capped at limit (default 20). Supply at least one of query / esid.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tc39 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on test262.search? +

Register the Tc39 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for test262.search: 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 Tc39. Nothing to install.

What risk level is test262.search? +

test262.search is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit test262.search? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the test262.search 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 test262.search completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for test262.search. 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 test262.search? +

test262.search is provided by the Tc39 MCP server (tc39-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Tc39 tool call.
