Build markdown context for supported source files.
AI agents call build_context to retrieve information from Syntax Map without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads source files and builds markdown context from them. It does not modify, delete, or execute anything - it is a read/analysis operation that produces a formatted representation of code content.
From the tool's definition 'Build markdown context for supported source files' - reads and processes source files to generate markdown output
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Build markdown context for supported source files. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Syntax Map MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Syntax Map MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for build_context: 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 Syntax Map. Nothing to install.
build_context 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 build_context 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 build_context. 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.
build_context is provided by the Syntax Map MCP server (kht6163/syntax-map-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
