# search_docs_tool A read tool on the Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `search_docs_tool`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/search-docs-tool ## Facts - Tool: `search_docs_tool` - Server: Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server (`qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server.md - Install: `npx -y qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server` - Homepage: https://github.com/Qiskit/mcp-servers - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity verified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "search_docs_tool", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why search_docs_tool is rated Low Search tools that query documentation are read operations with minimal impact. They retrieve information without modifying state, executing code, or causing side effects. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention is clear enough to classify with reasonable confidence as a Read operation posing low severity risk. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'search_docs_tool' which indicates searching/querying documentation. The description is empty, providing no additional detail, but the name strongly suggests a read-only retrieval operation." ## Use case AI agents call search_docs_tool to retrieve information from Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "search_docs_tool": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server (70) - `cancel_job_tool` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/cancel-job-tool.md - `delete_environment_tool` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/delete-environment-tool.md - `delete_model_tool` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/delete-model-tool.md - `delete_saved_account_tool` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/delete-saved-account-tool.md - `ai_clifford_synthesis_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/ai-clifford-synthesis-tool.md - `ai_linear_function_synthesis_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/ai-linear-function-synthesis-tool.md - `ai_pauli_network_synthesis_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/ai-pauli-network-synthesis-tool.md - `ai_permutation_synthesis_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/ai-permutation-synthesis-tool.md - `ai_routing_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/ai-routing-tool.md - `convert_qpy_to_qasm3_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/convert-qpy-to-qasm3-tool.md - `generate_random_clifford_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/generate-random-clifford-tool.md - `generate_random_linear_function_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/generate-random-linear-function-tool.md - `hybrid_ai_transpile_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/hybrid-ai-transpile-tool.md - `run_estimator_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/run-estimator-tool.md - `run_sampler_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/run-sampler-tool.md - `start_tensorboard_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/start-tensorboard-tool.md - `start_training_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/start-training-tool.md - `stop_tensorboard_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/stop-tensorboard-tool.md - `stop_training_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/stop-training-tool.md - `synthesize_clifford_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/synthesize-clifford-tool.md - `synthesize_linear_function_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/synthesize-linear-function-tool.md - `synthesize_permutation_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/synthesize-permutation-tool.md - `transpile_circuit_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/transpile-circuit-tool.md - `wait_for_training_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/wait-for-training-tool.md - `analyze_circuit_tool` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/analyze-circuit-tool.md - `batch_train_environments_tool` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/batch-train-environments-tool.md - `compare_optimization_levels_tool` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/compare-optimization-levels-tool.md - `create_clifford_env_tool` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/create-clifford-env-tool.md - `create_linear_function_env_tool` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/create-linear-function-env-tool.md - `create_permutation_env_tool` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server/create-permutation-env-tool.md - …and 40 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
