## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search",
    "arguments": {}
  }

## Why search is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries data without side effects. The search operation is fundamentally a read operation that fetches information based on a query parameter. There is no indication of data creation, modification, deletion, or code execution. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused—an agent could retrieve information it shouldn't see, but cannot alter or destroy data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs 'Universal search across people, groups, messages, and group members' with 'query' parameter and returns 'categorized results sorted by relevance'. No modification, deletion, or execution is described."

## Use case

AI agents call search to retrieve information from Automagik Tools without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Automagik Tools:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search": {}
  }
}
```
