Crawl the main docs page to discover all available documentation paths
AI agents call discover_docs to retrieve information from Tambo Docs MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a read-only crawl of documentation structure to discover available paths. This is a passive information retrieval operation with no side effects, no execution of code or commands, and no ability to modify, delete, or create data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Crawl[s] the main docs page to discover all available documentation paths' - a discovery/enumeration operation with no data modification capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Crawl the main docs page to discover all available documentation paths. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tambo Docs MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tambo Docs MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for discover_docs: 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 Tambo Docs MCP Server. Nothing to install.
discover_docs 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 discover_docs 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 discover_docs. 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.
discover_docs is provided by the Tambo Docs MCP Server MCP server (kylegrahammatzen/tambo-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
