Why search_all_projects needs a policy

This tool performs a search operation to query and retrieve nodes from the knowledge graph across multiple projects. The verb 'search' and the absence of any language indicating creation, modification, or deletion of data clearly place this in the Read category. The blast radius is minimal—it only accesses existing data. Confidence is high because the description unambiguously describes a retrieval operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_all_projects' and description 'Search for nodes across all projects' indicate a query/search operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects.

POLICY

How to control search_all_projects

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_all_projects": {}
  }
}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about search_all_projects

What does the search_all_projects tool do? +

Search for nodes across all projects. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Xgmem MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on search_all_projects? +

Register the Xgmem MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_all_projects: 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 Xgmem. Nothing to install.

What risk level is search_all_projects? +

search_all_projects is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit search_all_projects? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_all_projects 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.

How do I block search_all_projects completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for search_all_projects. 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.

What MCP server provides search_all_projects? +

search_all_projects is provided by the Xgmem MCP server (meetdhanani17/xgmem). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Xgmem tool call.

Start from Xgmem, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
