From the tool's definition Incrementally index project, resolve target symbol, return indexed caller relationships.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs find_callers safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ACE-MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For find_callers, this is the rule to start with:
find_callers is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ACE-MCP, apply this rule, and every find_callers call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about find_callers
Incrementally index the project, resolve the target symbol, and return indexed caller relationships. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ACE-MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ACE MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_callers: 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 ACE-MCP. Nothing to install.
find_callers 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 find_callers 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 find_callers. 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.
find_callers is provided by the ACE MCP server (0215andrewfeng/ace-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
