AI agents call cercar_contractes to retrieve information from Mcp Govern without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool description is empty, which slightly reduces confidence, but the naming convention, server purpose (transparency and corruption detection), and sibling tools all suggest this searches or queries public government contract data without modification. The blast radius of misuse would be limited to unauthorized data access/analysis of public information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'cercar_contractes' (Catalan: 'search contracts') in a government transparency/anti-corruption server context; sibling tools include 'boe_contractes' and other data search/retrieval tools ('cercar_datasets', 'cercar_concessions',…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access cercar_contractes gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Govern, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for cercar_contractes:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"cercar_contractes": {}
}
}cercar_contractes is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

cercar_contractes. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Govern MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Govern MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cercar_contractes: 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 Mcp Govern. Nothing to install.
cercar_contractes 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 cercar_contractes 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 cercar_contractes. 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.
cercar_contractes is provided by the Mcp Govern MCP server (xavimf87/mcp-govern). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Mcp Govern, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
