What debug_search does on MCP Creator Growth

AI agents call debug_search to retrieve information from MCP Creator Growth without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why debug_search needs a policy

This tool queries historical debugging data without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. Even though it auto-triggers on errors, it only retrieves information. The most severe risk is information disclosure of past debug records, which is a low-severity read concern since the data is already part of the user's own learning history.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'debug_search' and description states it 'Search[es] debug history for past solutions', which is a retrieval operation with no side effects. The AUTO-call behavior on errors is a read-only fallback mechanism.

How to control debug_search

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Creator Growth, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for debug_search:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "debug_search": {}
  }
}

debug_search is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP Creator Growth — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
