AI agents call search_and_discover_tools to retrieve information from AXIS iliad without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a query/search operation that retrieves information about available programs without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The tool returns artifact paths and matches ranked by relevance—a pure read operation. The description explicitly states 'no stateful side effects' and groups it with other discovery/listing tools, confirming it does not create, execute, or destroy data.
From the tool's definition Searches AXIS programs by keyword and returns ranked matches. Described as having 'no stateful side effects' and explicitly compared to list/discovery operations that do similar work.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search AXIS programs by keyword and return ranked matches with artifact paths. Free, no auth, and no stateful side effects. Example: q=checkout returns commerce-relevant programs first. Use this when you know the outcome you want but not the right program. Use list_programs instead for the full catalog, discover_commerce_tools for install metadata, or discover_agentic_purchasing_needs for purchasing-specific triage. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AXIS iliad MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AXIS iliad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_and_discover_tools: 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 AXIS iliad. Nothing to install.
search_and_discover_tools 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_and_discover_tools 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_and_discover_tools. 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_and_discover_tools is provided by the AXIS iliad MCP server (lastmanupinc-hub/axis-iliad). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
