check_compatibility

Is this specific multi-package version combo verified to work together? USE WHEN: pinning a stack (next@15 + react@19 + node@22); before recommending a version matrix. RETURNS: {compatible, conflicts[], notes}.

Part of the Depscope server.

check_compatibility is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call check_compatibility to retrieve information from Depscope without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though check_compatibility only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access check_compatibility gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so check_compatibility only ever does what you allow.

What does the check_compatibility tool do? +

Is this specific multi-package version combo verified to work together? USE WHEN: pinning a stack (next@15 + react@19 + node@22); before recommending a version matrix. RETURNS: {compatible, conflicts[], notes}.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Depscope MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on check_compatibility? +

Register the Depscope MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for check_compatibility: 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 Depscope. Nothing to install.

What risk level is check_compatibility? +

check_compatibility is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit check_compatibility? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the check_compatibility 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.

How do I block check_compatibility completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for check_compatibility. 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.

What MCP server provides check_compatibility? +

check_compatibility is provided by the Depscope MCP server (cuttalosrl/depscope). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Depscope tool call.
