Search for Java classes by name within the project\
AI agents call search_class to retrieve information from Java Inspector without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and searches for existing Java classes by name. It is a read-only operation that queries data without side effects, altering state, or triggering external actions. The narrow scope (searching within the project) and non-destructive nature confirm low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'search_class' and description states it 'Search for Java classes by name within the project' — a pure query operation with no modification, deletion, or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search for Java classes by name within the project\. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Java Inspector MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Java Inspector MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_class: 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 Java Inspector. Nothing to install.
search_class 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_class 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_class. 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_class is provided by the Java Inspector MCP server (mustafagoksever/java-inspector). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
