What search does on FlixBridge

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

Why search needs a policy

This tool queries a media database to find series or movies matching user criteria. It is a non-destructive information retrieval operation with no side effects on the system or data. The user must then take a separate action (via 'add_new' or similar) to actually add media. Blast radius is minimal—search queries cannot corrupt, delete, or financially impact the system.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'search' and description states it searches for media (series/movies) to add. The verb 'search' is a read operation that retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on search? +

Register the FlixBridge 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 FlixBridge. Nothing to install.

What risk level is search? +

Can I rate-limit search? +
