WHAT IT DOES

What ruvector_search does on Ruflo

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

RISK

Why ruvector_search is rated Low

This tool performs a vector similarity search operation, which is a read-only query function. It retrieves matching vectors from an index based on distance metrics but does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. The most severe applicable category is Read.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search[es] for similar vectors' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code. HNSW and IVF are standard vector indexing/search algorithms used for retrieval operations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ruvector_search safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ruflo, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For ruvector_search, this is the rule to start with:

ruvector_search Allowed

ruvector_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": {
    "ruvector_search": {}
  }
}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about ruvector_search

What does the ruvector_search tool do? +

Search for similar vectors using HNSW or IVF indexing. Supports cosine, euclidean, and dot product distance metrics. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ruflo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on ruvector_search? +

Register the Ruflo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ruvector_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 Ruflo. Nothing to install.

What risk level is ruvector_search? +

ruvector_search is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit ruvector_search? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ruvector_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.

How do I block ruvector_search completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ruvector_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.

What MCP server provides ruvector_search? +

ruvector_search is provided by the Ruflo MCP server (ruvnet/ruflo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
