Why search_flights needs a policy

This tool queries flight information and returns results. It performs a search operation that retrieves data without side effects, making it a Read category tool. Severity is low because misuse would only expose flight search results, with no ability to book, modify reservations, or cause other harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'Search for flights on Google Flights with full filtering and pagination' and 'Returns structured flight data' — pure information retrieval with no modification, deletion, execution, or financial transaction.

How to control search_flights

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Playwright Stealth, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_flights:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_flights": {}
  }
}

search_flights is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Playwright Stealth — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
