Analyze text content and provide statistics.
AI agents call analyze_text to retrieve information from File Analysis MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The analyze_text tool is a read-only operation that retrieves and processes text statistics without creating, modifying, or destroying data. It has no side effects beyond returning analytical results. The server description emphasizes 'secure' interaction and lists sibling tools (list_files, read_file) that are also read operations, reinforcing the non-invasive nature of this analysis tool.
From the tool's definition Tool provides 'statistics' and 'metrics like word counts and character frequencies' on text content with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities mentioned.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Analyze text content and provide statistics. It is categorised as a Read tool in the File Analysis MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the File Analysis MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_text: 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 File Analysis MCP Server. Nothing to install.
analyze_text 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_text 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_text. 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_text is provided by the File Analysis MCP Server MCP server (justvarunsai/file_analysis_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
