WHAT IT DOES

What generate_sample_config does on Code MCP Server

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

RISK

Why generate_sample_config is rated Medium

This tool creates a new configuration file by writing sample content to disk. It is a reversible Write operation (the file can be deleted or overwritten). It does not execute code, delete data, modify finances, or perform destructive operations. The blast radius is minimal: a sample config file can be easily removed.

From the tool's definition 'Generate a sample .vscode-mcp.toml configuration file' — creates a new file with sample content without modifying existing data or causing irreversible changes.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs generate_sample_config safely

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

generate_sample_config Rate-limited

generate_sample_config 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.

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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