# Parse Error Stack Trace This tool allows you to parse error stack traces by providing the following: - A downloadable source map URL. - The line and column numbers from the stack trace. The tool will map the provided stack trace information to the corresponding source code location...

source-map-parser-mcp Execute Risk 3/5

AI agents invoke parse_stack to trigger processes or run actions in Source Map Parser. 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.

parse_stack 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 parse_stack tool do? +

# Parse Error Stack Trace This tool allows you to parse error stack traces by providing the following: - A downloadable source map URL. - The line and column numbers from the stack trace. The tool will map the provided stack trace information to the corresponding source code location using the source map. It also supports fetching additional context lines around the error location for better debugging. ## Parameters: - **stacks**: An array of stack trace objects, each containing: - **line**: The line number in the stack trace. - **column**: The column number in the stack trace. - **sourceMapUrl**: The URL of the source map file corresponding to the stack trace. - **ctxOffset** (optional): The number of additional context lines to include before and after the error location in the source code. Defaults to 5. ## Returns: - A JSON object containing the parsed stack trace information, including the mapped source code location and context lines. - If parsing fails, an error message will be returned for the corresponding stack trace. . It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Source Map Parser MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on parse_stack? +

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

What risk level is parse_stack? +

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

Can I rate-limit parse_stack? +

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

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

parse_stack is provided by the Source Map Parser MCP server (source-map-parser-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
