search_auth_api
AI agents call search_auth_api to retrieve information from KIS MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Based on naming convention alone, 'search' typically indicates data retrieval (Read category). However, the empty description creates significant uncertainty about actual behavior—it could potentially read credentials, modify auth state, or execute auth operations. The confidence is lowered due to missing documentation.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'search' and 'auth_api', suggesting it queries authentication or API information. Description is empty, providing no direct evidence of functionality.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
search_auth_api. It is categorised as a Read tool in the KIS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the KIS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_auth_api: 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 KIS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search_auth_api 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_auth_api 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_auth_api. 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_auth_api is provided by the KIS MCP Server MCP server (soyjefu/kis-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
