What getDiagnosticsForPath does on MCP Diagnostics

Why getDiagnosticsForPath needs a policy

This tool retrieves diagnostic data (errors/warnings/hints) from the IDE based on a file path parameter. It has no side effects — it only queries and returns information. The slightly more flexible path matching compared to a sibling does not change its fundamental nature as a read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getDiagnosticsForFile' (sibling) and 'getDiagnosticsForPath' indicate retrieval operations. Description states '根据文件路径获取诊断信息' (get diagnostic information based on file path) — a read-only query operation.

How to control getDiagnosticsForPath

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Diagnostics, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getDiagnosticsForPath:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getDiagnosticsForPath": {}
  }
}

getDiagnosticsForPath is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP Diagnostics — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
