AI agents call lean_leanfinder to retrieve information from Lean LSP MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Based on context from the server's stated purpose (searching for theorems) and the naming convention, lean_leanfinder appears to be a search utility for Lean theorem proofs and declarations. This is a read-only operation with no side effects—it retrieves information without modifying state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'lean_leanfinder' combined with server description mentioning 'searching for theorems using both local and external search services' and sibling tools like 'lean_hammer_premise' suggest this is a search/lookup tool.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access lean_leanfinder gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Lean LSP MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for lean_leanfinder:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"lean_leanfinder": {}
}
}lean_leanfinder is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

lean_leanfinder. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Lean LSP MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Lean LSP MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for lean_leanfinder: 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 Lean LSP MCP. Nothing to install.
lean_leanfinder 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 lean_leanfinder 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 lean_leanfinder. 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.
lean_leanfinder is provided by the Lean LSP MCP server (ooo0ooo/lean-lsp-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
