Search Naver Book catalog by title, author, or ISBN.
AI agents call search_books to retrieve information from Naver Search without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool retrieves information from a book catalog without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or committing financial transactions. It is a straightforward read-only query operation. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes public book search data.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'search_books' and description states it 'Search[es] Naver Book catalog by title, author, or ISBN.' The verb 'search' and the context of querying a catalog indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_books gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Naver Search, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_books:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"search_books": {}
}
}search_books is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Search Naver Book catalog by title, author, or ISBN. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Naver Search MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
search_books accepts 7 parameters: query, start, d_auth, d_isbn, d_publ, d_titl, display. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Naver Search MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_books: 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 Naver Search. Nothing to install.
search_books 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_books 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_books. 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_books is provided by the Naver Search MCP server (@isnow890/naver-search-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Naver Search, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
