AI agents call search_tools to retrieve information from StackSwap without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | integer | — | Max number of results to return. |
query | string | — | Substring to match against tool names (case-insensitive). Omit to list top tools. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This is a straightforward query/search operation that retrieves and presents information from a pre-built catalog. There are no side effects, no data modification, no external actions triggered, and no financial transactions. The tool has minimal blast radius if misused—an agent could waste tokens searching repetitively, but cannot harm systems, delete data, or trigger unintended business logic.
From the tool's definition The tool is explicitly read-only, performing a search operation across a static catalog of ~400 GTM tools. It returns catalogued data (monthly cost, sign-up links) with no modification capabilities.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search StackSwap's catalog of ~400 GTM tools by name. Returns each match with its catalogued monthly cost and, when applicable, a StackSwap partner sign-up link. It is categorised as a Read tool in the StackSwap MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
search_tools accepts 2 parameters: limit, query. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the StackSwap MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_tools: 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 StackSwap. Nothing to install.
search_tools 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_tools 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_tools. 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_tools is provided by the StackSwap MCP server (StonesofCreation/stackswap-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
search_tools is one line of StackSwap's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
