sync_findings

Sync production readiness findings from a local analysis back to the FinishKit dashboard. Creates a run record and inserts findings with deduplication.

Accepts file system path (findings[].file_path); High parameter count (31 properties)

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

@finishkit/mcp Execute Risk 4/5

AI agents invoke sync_findings to trigger processes or run actions in Finishkit. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

sync_findings can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

What does the sync_findings tool do? +

Sync production readiness findings from a local analysis back to the FinishKit dashboard. Creates a run record and inserts findings with deduplication.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Finishkit MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on sync_findings? +

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

What risk level is sync_findings? +

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

Can I rate-limit sync_findings? +

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

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

sync_findings is provided by the Finishkit MCP server (@finishkit/mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
