Search groups by name in Slite
AI agents call search_groups to retrieve information from Slite MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only searches and retrieves information about groups by name. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. It has no blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as it merely returns group data that likely would be accessible to an authenticated user anyway.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'search_groups' and description states 'Search groups by name in Slite' — a straightforward search/query operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_groups 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_groups. 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_groups is provided by the Slite MCP Server MCP server (takeokunn/slite-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
