AI agents call search_all_models to retrieve information from Kiln without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The name strongly suggests a read-only search function that retrieves model data without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The empty description prevents higher confidence, but the semantic meaning of 'search' aligns with the Read category. In the context of a 3D printer control system, searching models is a safe informational operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_all_models' indicates a query/search operation with no side effects. Description is empty, limiting certainty.

search_all_models. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kiln MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kiln MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_all_models: 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 Kiln. Nothing to install.
search_all_models 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 search_all_models 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 search_all_models. 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.
