Get source code directly by name using the code index. Much faster than searching through documentation. Supports multiple retrieval modes.
AI agents call get_code_by_name to retrieve information from RAG Document Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves/queries source code from an index by name lookup. It performs a read-only retrieval operation with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. The context (RAG Document Server) confirms it operates over indexed documents.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_code_by_name' and description states 'Get source code directly by name' and 'Much faster than searching through documentation.' The verb 'Get' indicates retrieval of existing data without modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get source code directly by name using the code index. Much faster than searching through documentation. Supports multiple retrieval modes. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RAG Document Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RAG Document Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_code_by_name: 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 RAG Document Server. Nothing to install.
get_code_by_name 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_code_by_name 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_code_by_name. 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_code_by_name is provided by the RAG Document Server MCP server (jaimeferj/mcp-rag-docs). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
