Search entire hive for a specific function by name. Returns all locations where the function is defined.
AI agents call find_function to retrieve information from Hive Mind MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a query operation across the codebase documentation to locate function definitions. It retrieves and presents information without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. The capability is analogous to a grep or find operation—purely informational. No code execution, financial impact, or destructive actions are possible.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Search entire hive for a specific function by name. Returns all locations where the function is defined.' The verbs 'search' and 'returns' indicate read-only data retrieval with no modifications or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search entire hive for a specific function by name. Returns all locations where the function is defined. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hive Mind MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Hive Mind MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_function: 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 Hive Mind MCP Server. Nothing to install.
find_function 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 find_function 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 find_function. 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.
find_function is provided by the Hive Mind MCP Server MCP server (jahanzaib-kaleem/hive-mind-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
