WHAT IT DOES

What natural_language_api_search does on ConnectWise API Gateway MCP Server

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why natural_language_api_search needs a policy

This tool searches or retrieves API endpoint metadata to help users discover available endpoints. It performs no side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The operation is purely informational and read-only. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius even if misused, as discovery of endpoints does not directly execute actions or compromise data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'natural_language_api_search' and description 'Search for API endpoints using natural language' indicate a query/discovery operation. The word 'search' denotes information retrieval without modification or execution.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "natural_language_api_search": {}
  }
}
