Build an encoded-query fragment that filters a date field by either a relative window (today/yesterday/this-or-last-week/month) or an absolute start/end range. Returns the query string for use in sysparm_query.
AI agents call snow_date_filter to retrieve information from Serac without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only constructs a query string fragment for filtering purposes. It does not retrieve, modify, delete, or execute anything against a system — it purely generates a string to be used in a query parameter. No side effects, no data access, making it a Read/utility tool at low severity.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Build an encoded-query fragment that filters a date field by either a relative window (today/yesterday/this-or-last-week/month) or an absolute start/end range. Returns the query string for use in sysparm_query. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Serac MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Serac MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for snow_date_filter: 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 Serac. Nothing to install.
snow_date_filter 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 snow_date_filter 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 snow_date_filter. 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.
snow_date_filter is provided by the Serac MCP server (serac-labs/serac). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
snow_date_filter is one line of Serac's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
