WHAT IT DOES

What get-file does on CodeAnalysis MCP Server

AI agents call get-file 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 get-file is rated Low

The tool name strongly suggests retrieval of file content without modification. No description is provided, but the server's purpose (code analysis) and naming convention (get-*) indicate this is a Read operation. Confidence is slightly lowered due to missing explicit description, but the naming and server context are clear indicators.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-file' indicates file retrieval. Server context describes 'code analysis' with tools for 'syntax analysis' and 'dependency visualization' — read-only operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get-file 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 get-file, this is the rule to start with:

get-file Allowed

get-file 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": {
    "get-file": {}
  }
}

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 get-file call is checked against it from then on.
