Search vulnerabilities across app libraries and container images in a single call. This is the recommended default tool for general vulnerability queries. Returns results grouped by source type. Results are scoped to the configured team.
AI agents call search_vulns to retrieve information from Yamory without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves vulnerability data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only information retrieval operation scoped to a configured team's vulnerability records. The low severity reflects that exposure of this tool allows an AI agent to query existing vulnerability metadata, which is informational in nature with no destructive or operational side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'search' and description states 'Search vulnerabilities across app libraries and container images in a single call' and 'Returns results grouped by source type'. No modification, deletion, or execution operations are described.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search vulnerabilities across app libraries and container images in a single call. This is the recommended default tool for general vulnerability queries. Returns results grouped by source type. Results are scoped to the configured team. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Yamory MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Yamory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_vulns: 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 Yamory. Nothing to install.
search_vulns 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_vulns 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_vulns. 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_vulns is provided by the Yamory MCP server (@aranseshita/yamory-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
search_vulns is one line of Yamory's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
