Search and list your HackerOne reports. Filter by keyword, program, severity, or state. Great for finding past reports to reference when drafting new ones.
AI agents call search_reports to retrieve information from HackerOne 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 and queries existing report data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. Filtering and searching are classic read operations. The blast radius of misuse is low—an agent could only retrieve reports already accessible to the user, posing minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Search and list your HackerOne reports' and 'Filter by keyword, program, severity, or state.' The verb 'search and list' combined with filtering parameters indicates data retrieval with no modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_reports gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and HackerOne MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_reports:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"search_reports": {}
}
}search_reports is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
