get_code_map_section

Retrieve a specific section of a previously generated code map

Part of the Code Auditor server.

get_code_map_section 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 get_code_map_section to retrieve information from Code Auditor 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 get_code_map_section 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.

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

What does the get_code_map_section tool do? +

Retrieve a specific section of a previously generated code map. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Code Auditor MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_code_map_section? +

Register the Code Auditor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_code_map_section: 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 Code Auditor. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_code_map_section? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_code_map_section? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_code_map_section. 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 get_code_map_section? +

get_code_map_section is provided by the Code Auditor MCP server (code-auditor-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Code Auditor tool call.
