CODEMESH OPTIONAL: Generate complete TypeScript type definitions for all discovered MCP tools. Prefer get-tool-apis for context efficiency unless you need all types.
AI agents call generate-types to retrieve information from Codemesh without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool generates TypeScript type definitions based on already-discovered MCP tools. This is a read/query operation that produces type information without modifying any data, executing code, or causing side effects. It is essentially a structured data retrieval operation that returns type definitions.
From the tool's definition "Generate complete TypeScript type definitions for all discovered MCP tools" - this is a generation/retrieval of type definitions, no side effects mentioned
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access generate-types gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Codemesh, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for generate-types:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"generate-types": {}
}
}generate-types is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

CODEMESH OPTIONAL: Generate complete TypeScript type definitions for all discovered MCP tools. Prefer get-tool-apis for context efficiency unless you need all types. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Codemesh MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Codemesh MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate-types: 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 Codemesh. Nothing to install.
generate-types 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 generate-types 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 generate-types. 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.
generate-types is provided by the Codemesh MCP server (kiliman/codemesh). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Codemesh, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
