This tool performs static analysis of project structure and dependencies to provide recommendations. It reads and examines existing configurations but does not create, modify, delete, execute arbitrary code, or commit financial operations.

How to control analyze_project

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "analyze_project": {}
  }
}

analyze_project is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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