Find documents in a collection. Supports query, limit, skip, and sort options.
AI agents call find_documents to retrieve information from Enhanced 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 documents matching query criteria with pagination and sorting—classic read-only operations. No side effects, no data modification, no execution of code or external operations. The query, limit, skip, and sort parameters are all passive filtering and presentation controls typical of read operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_documents' and description 'Find documents in a collection. Supports query, limit, skip, and sort options.' indicate a search/retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.

Register the Enhanced MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_documents: 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 Enhanced MCP Server. Nothing to install.
find_documents 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 find_documents 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 find_documents. 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.
find_documents is provided by the Enhanced MCP Server MCP server (pbulbule13/mcpwithgoogle). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
