Keyword search across the Online Cyber Tools catalogue. Returns up to 25 ranked matches with their URL, API URL, description, and category.
AI agents call search to retrieve information from OnlineCyberTools MCP (280+ filterable tools) without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward query/search function that retrieves information from a catalogue without modifying state, executing code, or triggering external operations. The blast radius is minimal—even if an AI agent searches for unexpected keywords, the outcome is merely returning catalogue entries, which poses no security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search' combined with description stating it 'returns up to 25 ranked matches with their URL, API URL, description, and category' clearly indicates data retrieval only. No mention of modification, deletion, execution, or side effects.
