A read tool on the Kestra Python MCP Server MCP server.

Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `search_flows`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/search-flows

## Facts

- Tool: `search_flows`
- Server: Kestra Python MCP Server (`kestra-io/mcp-server-python`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/kestra-io/mcp-server-python
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search_flows",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why search_flows is rated Low

Search operations retrieve data without side effects. The naming convention aligns with typical read operations. Absence of description lowers confidence slightly, but the tool name itself is clear enough to classify as a Read operation with low blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'search_flows' indicates a search/query operation. While the description is empty, the name and context of sibling tools (which include destructive operations like delete_execution_logs and delete_flow_logs) suggest this is a read-only query…"

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Kestra Python MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_flows": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
