Search Terragrunt documentation for HCL blocks, CLI commands, functions, and IaC patterns. Modes: search, list sections, get section content, or find code examples.
AI agents call search_docs to retrieve information from Terragrunt 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 and queries documentation content without side effects. It does not execute code, modify configurations, delete resources, or commit financial transactions. The operations (search, list, get) are all non-destructive read operations. Low severity because misuse would only expose documentation information already intended to be public.
From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Search Terragrunt documentation' with modes including 'search', 'list sections', 'get section content', and 'find code examples'. All described operations are read-only information retrieval with no modification or execution of infrastructure.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search Terragrunt documentation for HCL blocks, CLI commands, functions, and IaC patterns. Modes: search, list sections, get section content, or find code examples. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Terragrunt MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Terragrunt MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_docs: 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 Terragrunt MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search_docs 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_docs 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_docs. 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_docs is provided by the Terragrunt MCP Server MCP server (omattsson/terragrunt-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
