AI agents call reelgrep_find_quote to retrieve information from Reelgrep without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries an existing indexed library to find and return quote information. It performs no writes, deletes, executions, or financial operations. The worst outcome of misuse is retrieving sensitive or private quote content from the user's video library, which is a confidentiality risk but not a destructive or operational risk.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Locate[s] a quote across the indexed library and return[s]... citations' — a pure search/retrieval operation with no mutation, deletion, or execution of external code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Locate a quote across the indexed library and return both structured JSON and a human-readable citations block ready to paste. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Reelgrep MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Reelgrep MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reelgrep_find_quote: 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 Reelgrep. Nothing to install.
reelgrep_find_quote 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 reelgrep_find_quote 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 reelgrep_find_quote. 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.
reelgrep_find_quote is provided by the Reelgrep MCP server (solomonneas/reelgrep-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
