What proximity_find does on Uefn

AI agents call proximity_find to retrieve information from Uefn without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why proximity_find needs a policy

The tool name indicates a search/query operation that retrieves data about objects in proximity to a location or actor, with no indication of modification, execution, deletion, or financial impact. However, confidence is moderate (0.7) rather than high because the description is empty, preventing confirmation of exact behavior and whether it has any side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'proximity_find' suggests querying or searching for nearby objects/actors based on spatial proximity. Naming convention (noun + 'find') is consistent with Read operations like 'audio_list' on the same server.

How to control proximity_find

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

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

proximity_find 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 Uefn — 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.
