AI agents call search_side_projects to retrieve information from Resume without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool searches through side project documents, which is a retrieval operation with no side effects. The empty description and naming convention consistent with search/get operations on the server strongly suggest it retrieves information without modifying or deleting data. The context of a resume/job application document server reinforces that this is a data access tool only.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_side_projects' indicates a search operation. The sibling tools on this server are all retrieval operations (get_*, list_*) with no write or destructive capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
search_side_projects. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Resume MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Resume MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_side_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 Resume. Nothing to install.
search_side_projects 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_side_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for search_side_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.
search_side_projects is provided by the Resume MCP server (mnoomnoo/resume-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
