Search Panel components by name or description.
AI agents call search to retrieve information from HoloViz MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only search operation across Panel components. It retrieves and returns matching components based on search criteria, with no side effects, data modification, or external operations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius — misuse would only return unwanted search results without causing harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search' combined with description 'Search Panel components by name or description' indicates a query operation that retrieves information without modifying state.

Register the HoloViz MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search: 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 HoloViz MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search 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 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. 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.
