WHAT IT DOES

What uv-run does on Go

AI agents invoke uv-run to trigger actions in Go. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why uv-run is rated High

This tool executes commands in a controlled Python environment. While 'uv-managed environment' suggests some sandboxing, the ability to run arbitrary commands means an agent could execute malicious code, access sensitive data, modify files, or trigger unintended side effects depending on what command arguments are provided. The structured JSON output does not mitigate the underlying execution risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'uv-run' and description 'Runs a command in a uv-managed environment' indicate arbitrary command execution capability.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs uv-run safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Go, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For uv-run, this is the rule to start with:

uv-run Rate-limited

uv-run stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Go, apply this rule, and every uv-run call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about uv-run

What does the uv-run tool do? +

Runs a command in a uv-managed environment and returns structured output. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Go MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on uv-run? +

Register the Go MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for uv-run: 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 Go. Nothing to install.

What risk level is uv-run? +

uv-run is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit uv-run? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the uv-run 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 uv-run completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for uv-run. 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 uv-run? +

uv-run is provided by the Go MCP server (Dave-London/Pare). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
