main.c · CodeBadger MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What main.c does on CodeBadger

AI agents call main.c to retrieve information from CodeBadger without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why main.c needs a policy

Without a description, confidence is reduced. However, the tool name and server context (static code analysis, code browsing) indicate this is likely a read-only operation that retrieves or analyzes code structure. No evidence suggests it modifies code, executes arbitrary operations, or deletes data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'main.c' with empty description. Context shows CodeBadger provides 'code browsing, security taint analysis, call graph exploration, and dataflow tracking through natural language queries.' The sibling tools (find_taint_sinks, find_taint_sources, etc.

What does the main.c tool do? +

main.c. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CodeBadger MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on main.c? +

Register the CodeBadger MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for main.c: 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 CodeBadger. Nothing to install.

What risk level is main.c? +

main.c is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit main.c? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the main.c 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.

How do I block main.c completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for main.c. 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.

What MCP server provides main.c? +

main.c is provided by the CodeBadger MCP server (lekssays/codebadger). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
