Semantic search across all documents. Returns the most relevant passages.
AI agents call search_docs to retrieve information from MCP Generix without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs semantic search and returns passages, which are read-only operations with no side effects. It does not modify, create, delete, or execute anything. The context confirms it is part of a documentation management system focused on querying local documents by meaning. This is a standard retrieval operation with minimal risk.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Semantic search across all documents. Returns the most relevant passages. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Generix MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Generix MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_docs: 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 MCP Generix. Nothing to install.
search_docs is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_docs 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for search_docs. 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.
search_docs is provided by the MCP Generix MCP server (itsphily/mcp_generix). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
