List all search runs in the database with their key parameters (period, study, symbols, date range). Use this to discover what backtests have been performed.
AI agents call list_search_runs to retrieve information from Mcp Strategy Research Db without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about existing backtest runs from the database. It performs a read-only query to enumerate records with their parameters (period, study, symbols, date range). There are no side effects, data modifications, code execution, or irreversible actions. The narrow blast radius (information disclosure only) and reversible nature confirm low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it "List[s] all search runs" and is used to "discover what backtests have been performed." The verb 'list' and the discovery/querying nature indicate retrieval without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all search runs in the database with their key parameters (period, study, symbols, date range). Use this to discover what backtests have been performed. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Strategy Research Db MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Strategy Research Db MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_search_runs: 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 Strategy Research Db. Nothing to install.
list_search_runs 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 list_search_runs 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 list_search_runs. 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.
list_search_runs is provided by the Mcp Strategy Research Db MCP server (locupleto/mcp-strategy-research-db). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
