What search_decisions does on Codevira MCP

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

Low Risk

Why search_decisions needs a policy

This tool retrieves historical decision data from a persistent knowledge base without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is a pure read operation that gathers context for AI agents. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused, as searching decisions cannot directly harm systems or data.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Search past decisions across sessions and roadmap phases' — the verb 'search' indicates querying/retrieval with no modification or execution of external operations. No side effects mentioned.

How to control search_decisions

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

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

search_decisions 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 Codevira MCP — 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.
