What search does on Robinhood Agentic Trading

RISK

Why search is rated Low

The search function queries available securities and instruments without modifying, executing, or committing any financial transactions. It is purely informational and has no ability to alter state or commit funds. While it exists in a financial trading context, the tool itself only reads/retrieves data. Confidence is high because the description clearly indicates a search/lookup operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'search' and description states 'Search for securities and instruments' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search safely

search Allowed

search is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Robinhood Agentic Trading, apply this rule, and every search call is checked against it from then on.
