AI agents call search_pages to retrieve information from Wikimcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a search operation that retrieves and ranks wiki pages, returning snippets for informational purposes. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an AI agent cannot cause damage by searching a wiki. This is a classic Read category tool.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_pages 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_pages. 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_pages is provided by the Wiki MCP server (mohith-das/wikimcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
