Search through saved URLs by title, description, or original URL
AI agents call search_urls to retrieve information from MCP-Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries existing URL data based on search criteria without creating, modifying, or deleting any information. It is a read-only operation that matches the Read category definition of 'retrieves or queries data; no side effects'.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_urls' and description 'Search through saved URLs by title, description, or original URL' indicate a query operation with no data modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search through saved URLs by title, description, or original URL. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP-Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP-Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_urls: 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 MCP-Server. Nothing to install.
search_urls 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_urls 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_urls. 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_urls is provided by the MCP-Server MCP server (surbhimotghare/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
