Queries captured or generated artifacts via filters (status codes, domains, time ranges, and free-text search).
AI agents call search_exported_data to retrieve information from Mcp Network Analyzer without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs data retrieval and filtering on previously captured network data. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. Even though it operates on network traffic data, the tool itself is purely a read operation that returns query results based on specified filters.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Queries captured or generated artifacts via filters' - a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Queries captured or generated artifacts via filters (status codes, domains, time ranges, and free-text search). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Network Analyzer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Network Analyzer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_exported_data: 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 Mcp Network Analyzer. Nothing to install.
search_exported_data 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_exported_data 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_exported_data. 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_exported_data is provided by the Mcp Network Analyzer MCP server (kylebrodeur/mcp-network-analyzer). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
