WHAT IT DOES

What mine_changed_files does on Mcp Dev

AI agents use mine_changed_files to create or update resources in Mcp Dev, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Dev environment.

RISK

Why mine_changed_files is rated Medium

This tool writes/updates the search index by ingesting changed files. It modifies the index state (a write operation) but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve finances. Misuse could cause index corruption or stale/incorrect search results, hence medium severity.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mine_changed_files safely

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

mine_changed_files Rate-limited

mine_changed_files stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
