UNIVERSAL SEARCH: Your go-to tool for finding ANY vCluster configuration! Understands natural language, searches intelligently, and finds related settings. USE THIS FIRST for any config questions! Examples:
AI agents call smart-query to retrieve information from Vcluster Yaml without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
smart-query performs configuration search and retrieval operations on vCluster YAML files. It reads and queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. The natural language understanding aspect allows flexible searching but remains a read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it "searches intelligently" and "finds" vCluster configuration settings. The phrase "UNIVERSAL SEARCH" and "for finding ANY vCluster configuration" indicates a query/retrieval operation with no modification capability.

UNIVERSAL SEARCH: Your go-to tool for finding ANY vCluster configuration! Understands natural language, searches intelligently, and finds related settings. USE THIS FIRST for any config questions! Examples:. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Vcluster Yaml MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Vcluster Yaml MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for smart-query: 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 Vcluster Yaml. Nothing to install.
smart-query 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 smart-query 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 smart-query. 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.
smart-query is provided by the Vcluster Yaml MCP server (vcluster-yaml-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
