Returns the latest version/status info for a vault. Analysis is async; if status is 'processing', poll with exponential backoff (5s, 10s, 20s, 40s, max 60s).

get-code-vault-summary 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-vault-summary to retrieve information from Coderegistry 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-vault-summary 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-vault-summary only ever does what you allow.

What does the get-code-vault-summary tool do? +

Returns the latest version/status info for a vault. Analysis is async; if status is 'processing', poll with exponential backoff (5s, 10s, 20s, 40s, max 60s). Analysis can be as quick as 20-30 minutes for under 500,000 lines of code. Larger codebases can take much longer, especially with the security scan. This endpoint always returns the latest version only; once reanalysis starts, prior versions are no longer accessible here. Requires X-API-Key (existing users can generate an API key in the web app). If headers aren't supported, pass api_key in arguments.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Coderegistry MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get-code-vault-summary? +

Register the Coderegistry MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get-code-vault-summary: 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 Coderegistry. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get-code-vault-summary? +

get-code-vault-summary is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get-code-vault-summary? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get-code-vault-summary 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-vault-summary completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get-code-vault-summary. 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-vault-summary? +

get-code-vault-summary is provided by the Coderegistry MCP server (https://integrator.app.thecoderegistry.com/api/ai/router). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Coderegistry tool call.
