WHAT IT DOES

What document_search does on ContextForge MCP Gateway

AI agents call document_search to retrieve information from ContextForge MCP Gateway without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why document_search is rated Low

The name 'document_search' strongly implies retrieval of documents or data without side effects. Although the description is empty (reducing confidence), the naming convention and context of sibling tools that perform write operations (add_*) clearly indicate this tool queries/retrieves data. No capability to create, modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial transactions is evident.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'document_search' indicates a search/query operation. Tool description is empty, limiting certainty.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs document_search safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ContextForge MCP Gateway, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For document_search, this is the rule to start with:

document_search Allowed

document_search is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

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

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ContextForge MCP Gateway, apply this rule, and every document_search call is checked against it from then on.
