This tool retrieves encyclopedia content from Naver's knowledge base. It is purely informational—it queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The search operation has no side effects and matches the Read category definition of 'retrieves or queries data.' Severity is low because misuse would only return encyclopedia information, with minimal risk of harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_encyclopedia' and description 'Search Naver's encyclopedia entries' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification of data.

How to control search_encyclopedia

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_encyclopedia:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_encyclopedia": {}
  }
}

search_encyclopedia is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Naver Search — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
