Run all checks on raw Python source code (use when you have file contents, not a path).
AI agents call analyze_content to retrieve information from Code Quality without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool analyzes code statically and returns results; it does not execute the code, modify files, delete data, or perform financial operations. It is purely informational (Read category). Severity is low because misuse would only produce false positives/negatives in analysis output, with no impact on system state or data.
From the tool's definition Tool performs static analysis checks (flake8, mypy, McCabe, vulture) on Python source code with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Run all checks on raw Python source code (use when you have file contents, not a path). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Code Quality MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Code Quality MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_content: 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 Code Quality. Nothing to install.
analyze_content 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 analyze_content 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 analyze_content. 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.
analyze_content is provided by the Code Quality MCP server (javier-morenosa/code-quality-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
