Search across flows, tasks, and projects in DevFlow. Use this to find items by keyword, title, or content. Supports filtering by type (flow, task, project). Returns matching items with their type, title, and a content snippet.
AI agents call search to retrieve information from DevFlow MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a pure query/search operation with no side effects. It retrieves and filters existing data from DevFlow without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The read-only nature and low blast radius (information disclosure only) justify low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Search across flows, tasks, and projects" and "find items by keyword, title, or content." Returns matching items with metadata only (type, title, snippet). No modification, deletion, or execution described.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search across flows, tasks, and projects in DevFlow. Use this to find items by keyword, title, or content. Supports filtering by type (flow, task, project). Returns matching items with their type, title, and a content snippet. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DevFlow MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the DevFlow MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 DevFlow MCP Server. Nothing to install.
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 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 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.
search is provided by the DevFlow MCP Server MCP server (klausfreiberufler/devflow-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
