Search across all item types (deals, persons, organizations, etc.)

How to control search-all ↓

AI agents call search-all to retrieve information from Pipedrive MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves or queries data across multiple CRM entities (deals, persons, organizations) with no side effects. It fits the Read category definition of data retrieval operations. The explicit 'read-only' server description and the uniform get-* sibling tools confirm no write, execute, destructive, or financial capabilities.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search-all' and description explicitly state it 'Search across all item types' without mentioning creation, modification, deletion, or execution. Server is described as 'read-only access' to Pipedrive data.

Risk signalsBulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search-all gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search-all": {}
  }
}

search-all 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 Pipedrive MCP Server — 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.
