MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Codebase MCP tools

1 of Codebase MCP's 3 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Codebase MCP

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Codebase MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "saveCodebase": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "savecodebase_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "getCodebase": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "getcodebase_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register Codebase MCP — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about Codebase MCP

How do I enforce a policy on Codebase MCP? +

Register the Codebase MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Codebase MCP tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 3 Codebase MCP tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
