AI agents call tool_search_files to retrieve information from UltimateCoder without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
File searching is a retrieval operation with no side effects. Even with an empty description, the naming convention strongly suggests querying/locating files rather than modifying them. Confidence is slightly reduced due to missing documentation, but the tool name is clear enough to categorize with reasonable confidence.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'tool_search_files' indicates a search/query operation. Description is empty, but the name and sibling tools (which include file operations like get_file_info, list_files, diff_files) suggest this is a read-only file search utility.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access tool_search_files gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and UltimateCoder, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for tool_search_files:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"tool_search_files": {}
}
}tool_search_files is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

tool_search_files. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UltimateCoder MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the UltimateCoder MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tool_search_files: 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 UltimateCoder. Nothing to install.
tool_search_files 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 tool_search_files 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 tool_search_files. 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.
tool_search_files is provided by the UltimateCoder MCP server (m-ahmed-elbeskeri/ultimatecodermcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from UltimateCoder, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
