Search content using Query Builder
AI agents call searchContent to retrieve information from AEM MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only search operation against AEM content using Query Builder. It retrieves or queries data without side effects, matching the Read category definition. The severity is low because searching content poses minimal risk—an AI agent misusing this tool could at worst retrieve sensitive information it shouldn't see, but cannot modify, delete, or execute operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'searchContent' and description 'Search content using Query Builder' indicate a query/search operation with no modification or deletion of data.
