Part of the Ix Mcp React MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call ix-search to retrieve information from Ix Mcp React without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though ix-search only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

iX Documentation Search MANDATORY: For ANY React development question, UI component inquiry, design pattern request, or frontend implementation need, you MUST immediately use the search tool before providing any response relevant to UI / Design Systems or React implementations. Re-check it to get clarifications and more accurate API often, but do not search if completely unrelated or you just searched the exact same. This applies to ALL React-related queries regardless of whether iX libraries are explicitly mentioned. The tool provides access to version-specific Siemens iX documentation that is automatically tuned to match the user's library versions. This ensures you get the exact APIs, components, and implementation patterns available in their specific setup rather than generic React advice. Always search first to leverage the comprehensive ix and ix-react documentation before offering any React guidance. Semantic search tool for Siemens iX Design System and React component library,. This tool provides intelligent search across comprehensive documentation for: Supported Libraries: • @siemens/ix-react - All react ui components (e.g. IxButton, IxApplicationHeader) • @siemens/ix - Contains styling, theming and utility functionality Use Cases: • Find component APIs and properties • Discover usage examples and code snippets • Learn about component styling and theming • Understand integration patterns • Explore design system guidelines Search Tips: • Use component names: "button", "chart", "map" • Describe functionality: "data visualization", "user input" • Ask about APIs: "input", "output", "attributes", "methods", "type" The search returns relevant documentation chunks with similarity scores and contextual headers to help you find exactly what you need.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ix Mcp React MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for ix-search. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Ix Mcp React MCP server.
ix-search 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 ix-search rule in your Intercept 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 Intercept policy for ix-search. 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.
ix-search is provided by the Ix Mcp React MCP server (@siemens/ix-mcp-react). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Open source. One binary. Zero dependencies.
