sdk_ai_search
AI agents call sdk_ai_search to retrieve information from UI Bridge MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The name 'sdk_ai_search' implies a search/read operation, likely querying or inspecting UI elements. However, the empty description significantly lowers confidence. Given the server context of UI interaction, search could involve reading UI state or elements. Rated medium severity because UI inspection tools on this server can access potentially sensitive on-screen data.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'search', suggesting a retrieval/query operation; description is empty and uninformative.

sdk_ai_search. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UI Bridge MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the UI Bridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sdk_ai_search: 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 UI Bridge MCP. Nothing to install.
sdk_ai_search 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 sdk_ai_search 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 sdk_ai_search. 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.
sdk_ai_search is provided by the UI Bridge MCP server (qontinui/ui-bridge-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
