Given a user query, search for matching products in the Azure Cosmos DB database
AI agents call searchProducts to retrieve information from Azure Cosmos DB 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 product data based on user input without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing code. It has minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent — worst case, it returns unexpected products or excessive result sets, causing no data loss or system compromise. Low severity is appropriate for read-only operations on a product catalog.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'search for matching products in the Azure Cosmos DB database' — a query operation with no modification or deletion of data. The verb 'search' and context of querying products indicates a retrieval-only operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Given a user query, search for matching products in the Azure Cosmos DB database. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Azure Cosmos DB MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Azure Cosmos DB MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for searchProducts: 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 Azure Cosmos DB MCP Server. Nothing to install.
searchProducts 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 searchProducts 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 searchProducts. 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.
searchProducts is provided by the Azure Cosmos DB MCP Server MCP server (patrice-truong/cosmosdb-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
