Performs a combined keyword and semantic search, balancing between exact matches and semantic similarity. Requires hybridConfig with weights for both search types.
AI agents call hybridSearch 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 data from the knowledge management platform by combining keyword and semantic matching. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations—it only returns search results. This fits the Read category with low severity since misuse would only affect data retrieval, not data integrity or external operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'hybridSearch' and description explicitly states it 'Performs a combined keyword and semantic search' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution. Search operations are read-only queries with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Performs a combined keyword and semantic search, balancing between exact matches and semantic similarity. Requires hybridConfig with weights for both search types. 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 hybridSearch: 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.
hybridSearch 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 hybridSearch 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 hybridSearch. 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.
hybridSearch 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.
