Fetches documents from the namespace based on filter criteria. Supports pagination and including specific document properties.
AI agents call fetchDocuments to retrieve information from SourceSync Ai MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries documents without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes existing data subject to namespace and filter constraints.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'fetchDocuments' and description explicitly states it 'Fetches documents from the namespace based on filter criteria' with support for 'pagination and including specific document properties'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Fetches documents from the namespace based on filter criteria. Supports pagination and including specific document properties. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SourceSync Ai MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SourceSync Ai MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for fetchDocuments: 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 SourceSync Ai MCP Server. Nothing to install.
fetchDocuments 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 fetchDocuments 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 fetchDocuments. 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.
fetchDocuments is provided by the SourceSync Ai MCP Server MCP server (scmdr/sourcesyncai-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
