MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous CodeSavant tools

Destructive · High revert_to_version Reverting to a specific version irreversibly overwrites the current file content. Execute · High execute_code This tool runs arbitrary code in a specified language, making it an Execute category risk. Execute · Critical execute_code_command This tool allows running shell commands, which can have wide-ranging effects depending on the command arguments—from reading files to modifying systems, accessing networks, or compromising security. Write · Medium write_code_file This tool creates or modifies code files reversibly.

4 of CodeSavant's 7 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control CodeSavant

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

Deny destructive operations

{
  "revert_to_version": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "write_code_file": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "write_code_file_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get_code_history": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_code_history_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 CodeSavant — 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 CodeSavant

Can an AI agent delete data through the CodeSavant MCP server? +

Yes. The CodeSavant server exposes 1 destructive tools including revert_to_version. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through CodeSavant? +

The CodeSavant server has 1 write tools including write_code_file. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach CodeSavant.

How many tools does the CodeSavant MCP server expose? +

7 tools across 3 categories: Execute, Read, Write. 3 are read-only. 4 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on CodeSavant? +

Register the CodeSavant 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 CodeSavant tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 7 CodeSavant tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
