henry-ships/sparkforge Read Risk 2/5

AI agents call code_review to retrieve information from SparkForge 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 code_review 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.

What does the code_review tool do? +

Review code using Claude AI. Returns bugs, improvements, and best practice suggestions.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SparkForge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on code_review? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for code_review. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the SparkForge MCP server.

What risk level is code_review? +

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

Can I rate-limit code_review? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the code_review rule in your Intercept 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 code_review completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for code_review. 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 code_review? +

code_review is provided by the SparkForge MCP server (henry-ships/sparkforge). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
