Search across all items (tasks, features, bugs)
AI agents call search to retrieve information from Follow Plan MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The search tool retrieves and queries project data (tasks, features, bugs) without creating, modifying, or deleting any information. It has no side effects and falls squarely into the Read category. Severity is low because misuse would only expose existing project information that the agent likely already has context access to. The full-text search capability does not elevate this beyond Read classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search' combined with description 'Search across all items (tasks, features, bugs)' indicates a query/retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external commands.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search across all items (tasks, features, bugs). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Follow Plan MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Follow Plan MCP Server 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 Follow Plan MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search 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 search 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 search. 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.
search is provided by the Follow Plan MCP Server MCP server (vibeclasses/follow-plan-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
