AI agents call nyko_search to retrieve information from Nyko MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries code snippets and setup patterns from a knowledge base without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any data. The search functionality is a read-only operation that returns information to help developers, similar to searching documentation or a code repository. No side effects are possible from the search itself.

Search for implementation patterns by keyword. Use when user wants to implement a feature like. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Nyko MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Nyko MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for nyko_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 Nyko MCP Server. Nothing to install.
nyko_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 nyko_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 nyko_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.
nyko_search is provided by the Nyko MCP Server MCP server (nyko-ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
