Search workspace files by text query with optional extension filtering.
AI agents call search_project_files to retrieve information from MCP SAPUI5 Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs read-only search operations against project files. It retrieves and queries file contents based on text patterns and file extensions, with no capability to modify, delete, or execute code. The operation is inherently non-destructive and side-effect-free, fitting the 'Read' category. Severity is low because misuse would only expose data already accessible to the user within their own workspace.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_project_files' and description 'Search workspace files by text query with optional extension filtering' indicate a query/search operation with no modification of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search workspace files by text query with optional extension filtering. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP SAPUI5 Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP SAPUI5 Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_project_files: 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 MCP SAPUI5 Server. Nothing to install.
search_project_files 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_project_files 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_project_files. 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_project_files is provided by the MCP SAPUI5 Server MCP server (santiagosanmartinn/mcpui5server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
