Split code into logical segments using AST analysis
AI agents call split_code to retrieve information from ContextForge MCP Gateway without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs static analysis of code via Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) traversal to segment and organize code logically. This is a read-only operation that retrieves structural information from code without mutation, execution, or destructive effects.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Split code into logical segments using AST analysis' — this is a parsing/analysis operation that examines code structure without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. No side effects are implied.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Split code into logical segments using AST analysis. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for split_code: 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 ContextForge MCP Gateway. Nothing to install.
split_code 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 split_code 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 split_code. 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.
split_code is provided by the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP server (jrmatherly/mcp-context-forge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
