Analyze all files in current directory using Gemini CLI --all_files flag
AI agents call gemini_analyze_all_files to retrieve information from Gemini MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and analyzes file contents without modifying, deleting, or executing code. Analysis operations are inherently read-only queries against a codebase. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could read sensitive source code, but cannot alter systems or trigger operations.
From the tool's definition The tool performs 'Analyze all files in current directory' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities. The description explicitly indicates analysis (read-only operation).

Analyze all files in current directory using Gemini CLI --all_files flag. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gemini MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Gemini MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gemini_analyze_all_files: 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 Gemini MCP Server. Nothing to install.
gemini_analyze_all_files 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 gemini_analyze_all_files 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 gemini_analyze_all_files. 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.
gemini_analyze_all_files is provided by the Gemini MCP Server MCP server (juparave/gemini-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
