THE RISK

High Risk

Why ollama_generate_code_with_context needs a policy

This tool executes a local Ollama model to generate code, reading existing files as context. It spans Read (file access) and Execute (running an LLM to produce code output). The most severe applicable category is Execute, since it invokes an external model process and produces code that could be used or applied downstream.

From the tool's definition 'Generate code using Ollama with context from existing files. Reads reference files to understand patterns.' — triggers external Ollama model execution, reads files, and generates code artifacts

POLICY

How to control ollama_generate_code_with_context

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ollama MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for ollama_generate_code_with_context:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ollama_generate_code_with_context": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ollama_generate_code_with_context_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

ollama_generate_code_with_context stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Ollama MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about ollama_generate_code_with_context

What does the ollama_generate_code_with_context tool do? +

Generate code using Ollama with context from existing files. Reads reference files to understand patterns. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Ollama MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on ollama_generate_code_with_context? +

Register the Ollama MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ollama_generate_code_with_context: 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 Ollama MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is ollama_generate_code_with_context? +

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

Can I rate-limit ollama_generate_code_with_context? +

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

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

ollama_generate_code_with_context is provided by the Ollama MCP Server MCP server (jadael/ollamaclaude). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ollama MCP Server tool call.

Start from Ollama MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
