Why search_law needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries legal documents without any side effects. It enables searching through published labor law data, which is a pure read operation. The minimal severity reflects that search results are informational only and cannot harm systems or data when misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool performs keyword search (検索) of labor and social insurance laws (法令) using e-Gov API. The Japanese description explicitly states it searches (キーワードで検索する) laws when the law name is unknown, and returns legal texts.

How to control search_law

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Labor Law, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_law:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_law": {}
  }
}

search_law is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Labor Law — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
