Find all occurrences of a pattern in pane content.
AI agents call find_text to retrieve information from TmuxControlLib MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a read-only search operation on existing pane content. It queries and retrieves matching text patterns but produces no side effects, modifications, code execution, or destructive actions. This is a classic Read category tool (search/find operation).
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Find all occurrences of a pattern in pane content' — this is a search/pattern matching operation that retrieves data from terminal output without modifying or executing anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Find all occurrences of a pattern in pane content. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TmuxControlLib MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the TmuxControlLib MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_text: 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 TmuxControlLib MCP Server. Nothing to install.
find_text 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_text 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_text. 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_text is provided by the TmuxControlLib MCP Server MCP server (jbwinters/tmuxcontrollib). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
