analyze_repo_mcps

Analyze repository to detect tech stack and recommend relevant MCP servers. Note: This tool works best with local CLI, not via ChatGPT.

Part of the StacksFinder MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call analyze_repo_mcps to retrieve information from StacksFinder 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 analyze_repo_mcps 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 analyze_repo_mcps tool do? +

Analyze repository to detect tech stack and recommend relevant MCP servers. Note: This tool works best with local CLI, not via ChatGPT.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the StacksFinder MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on analyze_repo_mcps? +

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

What risk level is analyze_repo_mcps? +

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

Can I rate-limit analyze_repo_mcps? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the analyze_repo_mcps 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 analyze_repo_mcps completely? +

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

analyze_repo_mcps is provided by the StacksFinder MCP server (hoklims/stacksfinder-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
