Why search_book needs a policy

This tool performs search and information retrieval from Naver's book database. It retrieves existing data (reviews, author info, publication details) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The mention of checking current time via get_current_korean_time is for filtering results by recency, not for executing operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it "Search for books", "Find book reviews", "author information", "publication details", and "reading recommendations" β€” all read-only retrieval operations with no modification or side effects.

How to control search_book

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_book:

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

search_book 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.
