Build a high-throughput Query Builder request for quickly reading assets from deep folder hierarchies with pagination-safe defaults.
AI agents call aem_search_hierarchy_fast_page to retrieve information from Adobe Experience Assets Dev MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool is designed to query and retrieve asset metadata from AEM hierarchies with pagination support. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The high-throughput nature refers to read performance optimization, not to any capability to alter state.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'quickly reading assets from deep folder hierarchies' and 'Query Builder request'. The verb 'reading' and lack of any modification, deletion, or execution language clearly indicate data retrieval only.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Build a high-throughput Query Builder request for quickly reading assets from deep folder hierarchies with pagination-safe defaults. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Adobe Experience Assets Dev MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Adobe Experience Assets Dev MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for aem_search_hierarchy_fast_page: 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 Adobe Experience Assets Dev MCP. Nothing to install.
aem_search_hierarchy_fast_page 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 aem_search_hierarchy_fast_page 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 aem_search_hierarchy_fast_page. 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.
aem_search_hierarchy_fast_page is provided by the Adobe Experience Assets Dev MCP server (stubbedev/adobe-experience-dev-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
