AI agents call kotor_search_resources to retrieve information from KotorMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a search operation that queries and retrieves resource names matching a regex pattern. The explicit "Read-only" designation confirms it has no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. It is a pure data retrieval function with no side effects, fitting the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Read-only" and the operation is "search resource names by regex", which retrieves/queries data without side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Use when you need to search resource names by regex. Paginated; prefer location/type filter on large installs. Read-only. It is categorised as a Read tool in the KotorMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kotor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for kotor_search_resources: 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 KotorMCP. Nothing to install.
kotor_search_resources 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 kotor_search_resources 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 kotor_search_resources. 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.
