Search for items on a board by content/text
AI agents call search_items to retrieve information from Miro 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 a Miro board based on search criteria. It has no capability to modify, delete, execute code, or cause financial impact. The narrow scope (searching board content) and read-only nature classify it as a low-severity Read operation with minimal blast radius even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Search for items' which is a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'search' combined with 'by content/text' indicates a query-only operation that reads board data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search for items on a board by content/text. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Miro MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Miro MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_items: 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 Miro MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search_items 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 search_items 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 search_items. 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.
search_items is provided by the Miro MCP Server MCP server (soul-script/miro-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
