Search on-disk workspace text and return structured matches; unsaved Neovim buffer changes are not included.
AI agents call search_text to retrieve information from Vigentic MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only search operation over workspace files. It retrieves and returns structured match results without side effects. The description explicitly notes that it operates on disk and returns matches, characteristic of a search/query operation. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed.
From the tool's definition "Search on-disk workspace text and return structured matches" - the tool queries and retrieves text data from the workspace without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search on-disk workspace text and return structured matches; unsaved Neovim buffer changes are not included. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Vigentic MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Vigentic MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_text: 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 Vigentic MCP. Nothing to install.
search_text 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_text 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_text. 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_text is provided by the Vigentic MCP server (munozu/vigentic-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
search_text is one line of Vigentic's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
