What getDiagnosticsSummary does on MCP Diagnostics

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

Why getDiagnosticsSummary needs a policy

This tool retrieves aggregated diagnostic statistics from the IDE. It performs no mutations, executions, financial operations, or destructive actions. It is purely informational, reading and summarizing existing diagnostic data. The low severity reflects that misuse (e.g., repeated calls) has negligible impact—it merely returns counts of code quality issues already detected by the IDE.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getDiagnosticsSummary' and description indicate it 'returns statistical information' about diagnostic counts (files, errors, warnings). The verb 'get' and 'read' operation pattern confirm retrieval without modification.

How to control getDiagnosticsSummary

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 getDiagnosticsSummary:

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

getDiagnosticsSummary 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.
