Why search_academic needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries public or authorized academic research materials from Naver's database. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, delete content, or move funds. The recommendation to check current time first is a usage suggestion, not an indication of code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search[es] academic papers, research documents, and scholarly content' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities. The verb 'search' and 'access' indicate query/retrieval operations only.

How to control search_academic

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway β€” it sits between your AI agents and Naver Search MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_academic:

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

search_academic is read-only, so it stays allowed β€” but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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