AI agents call search_code to retrieve information from Reporecall without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
search_code performs codebase querying and retrieval only. It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, and does not execute arbitrary code or operations. The tool is explicitly designed for searching and retrieving information from an indexed codebase. This is a classic Read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent — worst case, it returns unwanted code context.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Search the codebase using hybrid vector + keyword search' — this is a retrieval operation that queries code without modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_code gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Reporecall, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_code:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"search_code": {}
}
}search_code is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Search the codebase using hybrid vector + keyword search. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Reporecall MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Reporecall MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_code: 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 Reporecall. Nothing to install.
search_code 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_code 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_code. 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_code is provided by the Reporecall MCP server (proofofwork-agency/reporecall). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
