What org_dependencies does on CogniRepo
AI agents call org_dependencies to retrieve information from CogniRepo without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why org_dependencies is rated Low
This tool appears designed to retrieve or query dependency information within an organization or repository structure. No indication of modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact. The sibling tools on this CogniRepo server are primarily read-oriented (search, traverse, explain, get). Even in conservative interpretation, 'dependencies' retrieval is a non-destructive query operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'org_dependencies' and context from sibling tools (dependency_graph, architecture_overview, cross_repo_search) indicate data retrieval about organizational or repository dependencies.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs org_dependencies safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CogniRepo, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For org_dependencies, this is the rule to start with:
org_dependencies is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CogniRepo, apply this rule, and every org_dependencies call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about org_dependencies
org_dependencies is a read tool on the CogniRepo MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CogniRepo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CogniRepo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for org_dependencies: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches CogniRepo. Nothing to install.
org_dependencies is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the org_dependencies rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for org_dependencies. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
org_dependencies is provided by the CogniRepo MCP server (pypi:cognirepo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
