atlas_security

Scan code for security vulnerabilities. Detects SQL injection, XSS, hardcoded secrets, weak crypto, and more. Returns findings with severity, CWE IDs, and remediation suggestions.

Accepts freeform code/query input (code)

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

atlas-pipeline-mcp Read Risk 2/5

AI agents call atlas_security to retrieve information from Atlas Pipeline 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 atlas_security 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.

What does the atlas_security tool do? +

Scan code for security vulnerabilities. Detects SQL injection, XSS, hardcoded secrets, weak crypto, and more. Returns findings with severity, CWE IDs, and remediation suggestions.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Atlas Pipeline MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on atlas_security? +

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

What risk level is atlas_security? +

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

Can I rate-limit atlas_security? +

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

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

atlas_security is provided by the Atlas Pipeline MCP server (atlas-pipeline-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
