WHAT IT DOES

What analyze-files does on CodeAnalysis MCP Server

AI agents call analyze-files to retrieve information from CodeAnalysis MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why analyze-files is rated Low

The tool name and server's stated purpose (analysis and visualization) strongly suggest this retrieves and examines code structure without creating, modifying, or deleting data. Confidence is slightly reduced due to empty description; if 'analyze-files' unexpectedly wrote results or executed code, severity could escalate to Execute. However, context and naming convention point clearly to Read operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'analyze-files' indicates analysis/inspection without modification. Server context describes 'code analysis', 'syntax analysis', 'dependency visualization' which are read-only activities.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs analyze-files safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CodeAnalysis MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For analyze-files, this is the rule to start with:

analyze-files Allowed

analyze-files is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "analyze-files": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CodeAnalysis MCP Server, apply this rule, and every analyze-files call is checked against it from then on.
