AI agents call search_apis to retrieve information from Decixa without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool searches or queries APIs, which is a read operation. It retrieves information about available APIs to help agents find appropriate ones for tasks. The deprecated status further confirms this is a benign lookup function with no ability to modify, delete, or execute code. Low severity due to limited blast radius if misused—worst case would be information disclosure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_apis' indicates a query/search operation. Description states it is DEPRECATED, suggesting it retrieves or queries API information without side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
DEPRECATED in v0.1.7. Use. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Decixa MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Decixa MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_apis: 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 Decixa. Nothing to install.
search_apis 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_apis 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_apis. 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_apis is provided by the Decixa MCP server (koki-socialgist/decixa-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
