AI agents call search_tenders to retrieve information from İhale MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Search operations retrieve and query data without modifying or deleting anything. The server's purpose is data access from a public procurement portal, and all sibling tools follow read-only patterns. Even though the tool's own description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the naming convention and server context make it clear this is a read operation with no side effects.

Register the İhale MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_tenders: 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 İhale MCP. Nothing to install.
search_tenders 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 search_tenders 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 search_tenders. 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.
search_tenders is provided by the İhale MCP server (saidsurucu/ihale-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
