WHAT IT DOES

What folder-structure does on CodeAnalysis MCP Server

AI agents call folder-structure 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 folder-structure is rated Low

The tool almost certainly retrieves and displays directory/file structure information without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. This is a read-only query operation typical of code analysis tools. The sibling tools emphasize analysis over modification, supporting this classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'folder-structure' combined with server's purpose of 'code analysis' and sibling tools that include 'analyze-*' and 'build-knowledge-graph' suggests retrieval of repository/file organization metadata. Empty description lowers confidence slightly.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs folder-structure 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 folder-structure, this is the rule to start with:

folder-structure Allowed

folder-structure 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": {
    "folder-structure": {}
  }
}

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 folder-structure call is checked against it from then on.
