Analyze a specific function for time complexity. Provide either function_name or line_number to locate it.
AI agents call analyze_function to retrieve information from Time Complexity without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and analyzes code structure to produce complexity metrics. It queries and inspects code without modifying data, triggering external operations, or deleting anything. The operation is purely informational—similar to a linter or static analysis tool. Low severity because misuse would only produce incorrect analysis results, not compromise systems or data.
From the tool's definition The tool 'analyze_function' performs static analysis using 'tree-sitter AST parsing' to determine time complexity. The description indicates it 'Analyze[s] a specific function' without mentioning any modifications, execution, or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Analyze a specific function for time complexity. Provide either function_name or line_number to locate it. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Time Complexity MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Time Complexity MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_function: 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 Time Complexity. Nothing to install.
analyze_function 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 analyze_function 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 analyze_function. 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.
analyze_function is provided by the Time Complexity MCP server (luzgan/time-complexity-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
