What tool_process_files does on UltimateCoder

AI agents invoke tool_process_files to trigger actions in UltimateCoder. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Why tool_process_files needs a policy

The tool name 'tool_process_files' on a server designed to 'automate file handling, run terminal commands' suggests it performs operations on files. Given the sibling tools context (which includes destructive tools like tool_delete_path, execute tools like tool_kill_process), 'process_files' could involve reading, writing, or executing operations on files.

How to control tool_process_files

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "tool_process_files": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "tool_process_files_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

tool_process_files stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register UltimateCoder — 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.
