Why get_search_results needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries search results in a paginated manner. It does not create, modify, delete, execute commands, or move money. The automatic cursor advancement is a convenience feature for pagination and does not constitute a write operation. Despite being hosted on a comprehensive computer control server with destructive capabilities, this specific tool is limited to safe data retrieval.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_search_results' and description states it 'Get paginated results from a search session.' The verb 'Get' and the action of retrieving paginated search results indicates data retrieval with no side effects or modifications.

How to control get_search_results

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

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

get_search_results 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 OODA Computer Control — 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.
