Search RSSHub routes. Support fuzzy search by keywords, can search platform names, route names, categories, etc. Automatically fetches latest routes from RSSHub API and caches them.
AI agents call search_routes to retrieve information from RSSHub MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
search_routes retrieves and queries RSS route data from RSSHub API through fuzzy search functionality. This is a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The tool's purpose is to help users discover available RSS feeds and routes through natural language search. No data is altered, no external operations are triggered, and no financial or destructive actions are possible.
From the tool's definition Tool performs 'search' and 'fetches latest routes' with automatic caching—purely informational retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities. Description explicitly indicates searching and querying routes without side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_routes gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and RSSHub MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_routes:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"search_routes": {}
}
}search_routes is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Search RSSHub routes. Support fuzzy search by keywords, can search platform names, route names, categories, etc. Automatically fetches latest routes from RSSHub API and caches them. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RSSHub MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RSSHub MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_routes: 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 RSSHub MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search_routes 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_routes 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_routes. 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_routes is provided by the RSSHub MCP Server MCP server (panxiande/rsshub-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from RSSHub MCP Server, 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.
