How to control check_feeds ↓

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

Low Risk

This tool appears to check or retrieve feed data (news, RSS, social media feeds, etc.). Feed checking is a read operation with no data modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code. The lack of destructive, financial, or execution capabilities places this squarely in the Read category with low severity—misuse would only expose information, not cause harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'check_feeds' combined with sibling tool 'get_feed_items' indicates feed retrieval functionality. Server description mentions 'live feeds' as a read-only capability. No description provided for this specific tool, lowering confidence slightly.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access check_feeds gives an agent:

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

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

check_feeds 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 Noapi Google Search — 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.
