What search_mod_indexed does on Minecraft Dev MCP

AI agents call search_mod_indexed to retrieve information from Minecraft Dev MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why search_mod_indexed needs a policy

search_mod_indexed retrieves and queries data from an indexed mod database without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The search functionality is purely informational and read-only in nature.

From the tool's definition Tool description indicates it performs "full-text search using pre-built mod index" with support for query operators (AND, OR, NOT). This is explicitly a search/retrieval operation with no side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_mod_indexed gives an agent:

How to control search_mod_indexed

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Minecraft Dev MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_mod_indexed:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_mod_indexed": {}
  }
}

search_mod_indexed is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Minecraft Dev MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
