Search SDK documentation to find methods, parameters, and usage examples for interacting with the API. Use this before writing code when you need to discover the right approach.
AI agents call search_docs to retrieve information from Sanka MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query of documentation resources. It retrieves and presents existing information about SDK methods, parameters, and usage examples without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects on data or systems. The low severity reflects that misuse simply returns irrelevant documentation—no blast radius on actual data or operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_docs' combined with description stating it 'Search SDK documentation to find methods, parameters, and usage examples'. The phrase 'find' and 'search' indicates information retrieval without modification of underlying systems.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search SDK documentation to find methods, parameters, and usage examples for interacting with the API. Use this before writing code when you need to discover the right approach. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sanka MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sanka MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_docs: 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 Sanka MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search_docs 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_docs 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_docs. 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_docs is provided by the Sanka MCP Server MCP server (sankahq/sanka-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
