What search_programs does on Skolverket MCP Server

AI agents call search_programs to retrieve information from Skolverket MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why search_programs needs a policy

This is a straightforward read/query operation that retrieves and lists educational program data from Skolverket's APIs. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be retrieving irrelevant educational information. Classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_programs' and description indicate it 'Sök efter gymnasieprogram och studievägar' (search for upper secondary programs and study paths). Returns 'Lista över program' (list of programs) with descriptions.

How to control search_programs

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Skolverket MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_programs:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_programs": {}
  }
}

search_programs is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Skolverket MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
