Search the Midos knowledge base for relevant information.
AI agents call search_knowledge to retrieve information from MidOS - MCP Community Library without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a search operation that retrieves or queries data from a knowledge base. Search operations are read-only and have no side effects beyond returning information. The severity is low because misuse would only expose information already in the knowledge base, not cause irreversible changes, financial impact, or code execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_knowledge' and description 'Search the Midos knowledge base for relevant information' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no data modification or code execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search the Midos knowledge base for relevant information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MidOS - MCP Community Library MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MidOS - MCP Community Library MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_knowledge: 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 MidOS - MCP Community Library. Nothing to install.
search_knowledge 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_knowledge 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_knowledge. 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_knowledge is provided by the MidOS - MCP Community Library MCP server (midos-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
