The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI could only retrieve irrelevant or excessive documentation, causing no data integrity or operational harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_spring_docs' and description 'Recherche dans la documentation Spring Boot avec des mots-clés' (search in Spring Boot documentation with keywords) indicate a search/query operation with no side effects.

How to control search_spring_docs

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

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

search_spring_docs 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 Springdocs — 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.
