Search LDAP directory entries
AI agents call ldap_search to retrieve information from Mcp Database without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
LDAP search operations are read-only queries against directory services. They retrieve and return directory entries but do not create, modify, or delete data. While LDAP directories may contain sensitive information (usernames, contact details), the tool itself performs no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ldap_search' and description 'Search LDAP directory entries' indicate a query operation that retrieves directory information without modification or deletion.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search LDAP directory entries. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Database MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Database MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ldap_search: 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 Mcp Database. Nothing to install.
ldap_search 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 ldap_search 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 ldap_search. 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.
ldap_search is provided by the Mcp Database MCP server (nam088/mcp-database-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
ldap_search is one line of Mcp Database's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
