Why search_kin needs a policy

The search_kin tool queries a knowledge base and returns information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The recommendation to call get_current_korean_time first is contextual guidance, not an indication of side effects. This is a straightforward read-only search operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it "Search[es] Naver KnowledgeiN for Q&A and community-driven answers" and "Find[s] solutions to problems" — these are pure retrieval operations with no modification, deletion, execution, or financial impact.

How to control search_kin

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — 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_kin:

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

search_kin 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 Naver Search 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.
