Search for Grand Exchange tradeable items by name. Uses an exact/prefix/substring match. Returns item IDs, names, buy limits, and alch values.
AI agents call search_ge_items to retrieve information from OSRS 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 search query against the Grand Exchange item database and returns informational data about items. It has no capability to modify items, execute code, delete data, or commit financial transactions. The search operation with result retrieval is a classic Read category operation. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose existing game data without enabling harmful actions.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search for Grand Exchange tradeable items by name' and 'Returns item IDs, names, buy limits, and alch values.' These are all read-only query operations that retrieve game data without modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_ge_items gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OSRS MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_ge_items:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"search_ge_items": {}
}
}search_ge_items is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Search for Grand Exchange tradeable items by name. Uses an exact/prefix/substring match. Returns item IDs, names, buy limits, and alch values. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OSRS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OSRS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_ge_items: 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 OSRS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search_ge_items 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_ge_items 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_ge_items. 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_ge_items is provided by the OSRS MCP Server MCP server (jayarrowz/mcp-osrs). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from OSRS MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
