Detect available dependencies in workspace (WordPress plugins, Composer, npm).
AI agents call detect_dependencies to retrieve information from Codebase Contextifier 9000 without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads dependency information from package managers (WordPress plugins, Composer, npm) and reports findings. It performs static analysis of the workspace's dependency configuration—purely informational with no side effects, reversible actions, code execution, or data modification. It fits the Read category as a retrieval/query operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'detect_dependencies' and description 'Detect available dependencies in workspace' indicate retrieval and analysis of existing dependency metadata without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Detect available dependencies in workspace (WordPress plugins, Composer, npm). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Codebase Contextifier 9000 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Codebase Contextifier 9000 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for detect_dependencies: 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 Codebase Contextifier 9000. Nothing to install.
detect_dependencies 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 detect_dependencies 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 detect_dependencies. 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.
detect_dependencies is provided by the Codebase Contextifier 9000 MCP server (jarmentor/codebase-contextifier-9000). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
