Extract the main content from a URL. Returns the title, cleaned text content, and metadata.
AI agents call extract_content to retrieve information from Deep Search MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and parses content from URLs, returning cleaned text and metadata without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is purely a read operation with no side effects, placing it firmly in the Read category. Severity is low because misuse would only expose existing publicly accessible web content, not cause harm beyond information disclosure.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Extract the main content from a URL. Returns the title, cleaned text content, and metadata.' The verbs 'extract' and 'returns' indicate data retrieval with no modifications to the source or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Extract the main content from a URL. Returns the title, cleaned text content, and metadata. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Deep Search MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Deep Search MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for extract_content: 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 Deep Search MCP Server. Nothing to install.
extract_content 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 extract_content 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 extract_content. 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.
extract_content is provided by the Deep Search MCP Server MCP server (likhonsheikh404/deep-search-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
