🔍 [HIGH PRIORITY - SEARCH] Search for files containing specific text within a project. Essential for finding relevant files when you don
AI agents call memory_bank_search to retrieve information from Memory Bank Mcp Mongodb without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries data (searching for files by content) with no side effects. It matches the 'Read' category as it performs a search operation similar to a file grep or search function. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse could only expose information the user already has access to within their project context.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'search' and description explicitly states 'Search for files containing specific text within a project.' No mention of modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations.
