Search for cryptocurrencies by name or symbol to find their CoinGecko ID. Parameters: - search (optional, string): Search query to filter coins by name or symbol (e.g., "bitcoin", "btc", "ethereum") - include_platform (optional, boolean): Include platform information for each coin (default: false...

AI agents call search_coins to retrieve information from Mcp Test without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though search_coins only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_coins gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other read tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: allow, with a rate cap to control cost.
Search for cryptocurrencies by name or symbol to find their CoinGecko ID. Parameters: - search (optional, string): Search query to filter coins by name or symbol (e.g., "bitcoin", "btc", "ethereum") - include_platform (optional, boolean): Include platform information for each coin (default: false) - limit (optional, number): Maximum number of results to return (default: 10, max: 100) This is useful when you need to find the exact CoinGecko ID before using get_crypto_asset_info tool.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Test MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Test MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_coins: 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 Test. Nothing to install.
search_coins 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_coins 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_coins. 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_coins is provided by the Mcp Test MCP server (luthfirizky777/mcp-test). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
