get_dive_tree
Get the full XML-like component tree for a dive session. Shows all registered components in their hierarchy with status, agent assignments, interaction counts, and bug counts. Also returns a Mermaid diagram for visual rendering. Use this for a quick overview of app structure and dive progress.

What get_dive_tree does on Nodebench
AI agents call get_dive_tree to retrieve information from Nodebench without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_dive_tree is rated Low
This tool retrieves and displays structural information about a dive session (components, hierarchy, status, assignments, counts, and a Mermaid diagram). It has no capability to modify, delete, execute commands, or trigger external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only gain visibility into an application's internal structure.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Get the full XML-like component tree' and 'returns' data about registered components, hierarchy, status, and metrics. Verbs used: 'Get', 'shows', 'returns' — all read operations with no data modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_dive_tree safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nodebench, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_dive_tree, this is the rule to start with:
get_dive_tree is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nodebench, apply this rule, and every get_dive_tree call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_dive_tree
Get the full XML-like component tree for a dive session. Shows all registered components in their hierarchy with status, agent assignments, interaction counts, and bug counts. Also returns a Mermaid diagram for visual rendering. Use this for a quick overview of app structure and dive progress. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Nodebench MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Nodebench MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_dive_tree: 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 Nodebench. Nothing to install.
get_dive_tree is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_dive_tree 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_dive_tree. 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.
get_dive_tree is provided by the Nodebench MCP server (nodebench-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
