Search for available API tools/endpoints in the Swagger spec
AI agents call swagger_search_tools to retrieve information from Multi-Database MCP Server 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 against a Swagger specification to discover available API endpoints. It retrieves information (metadata) without side effects, altering data, or triggering external code execution. The search operation is purely informational and constrained to introspection of the API schema.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'swagger_search_tools' and description 'Search for available API tools/endpoints in the Swagger spec' indicate a query/search operation that retrieves metadata about available endpoints without modifying data or executing external operations.

Register the Multi-Database MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for swagger_search_tools: 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 Multi-Database MCP Server. Nothing to install.
swagger_search_tools 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 swagger_search_tools 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 swagger_search_tools. 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.
swagger_search_tools is provided by the Multi-Database MCP Server MCP server (nam088/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
