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

document_search. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for document_search: 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 ContextForge MCP Gateway. Nothing to install.
document_search 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 document_search 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 document_search. 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.
document_search is provided by the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP server (jrmatherly/mcp-context-forge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
