lintbase_get_issues 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 lintbase_get_issues to retrieve information from Lintbase 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 lintbase_get_issues 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 lintbase_get_issues only ever does what you allow.

What does the lintbase_get_issues tool do? +

Runs all LintBase analyzers and returns a filtered list of issues. Use this for targeted questions like "any errors in users?", "schema issues only?", or "all security problems?". Lighter than lintbase_scan — returns only actionable issues, no summary metadata. Filter by severity (error/warning/info), collection name, or rule prefix (schema/, security/, perf/, cost/).. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Lintbase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on lintbase_get_issues? +

Register the Lintbase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for lintbase_get_issues: 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 Lintbase. Nothing to install.

What risk level is lintbase_get_issues? +

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

Can I rate-limit lintbase_get_issues? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for lintbase_get_issues. 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 lintbase_get_issues? +

lintbase_get_issues is provided by the Lintbase MCP server (lintbase-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Lintbase tool call.
