Find implementations of a PHP method or function across the Magento codebase. Searches method names, function definitions, and class method lists. See also: magento_find_class (parent class), magento_find_plugin (interceptors around this method).
AI agents call magento_find_method to retrieve information from Magector without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only code search tool that queries an index of Magento 2 codebase to locate method implementations. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an agent could retrieve information about internal methods but cannot alter code or execute operations. This fits the Read category: 'retrieves or queries data; no side effects'.
From the tool's definition Tool performs semantic code search with descriptions including 'Find implementations', 'Searches method names, function definitions, and class method lists'. No modifications, deletions, or code execution — purely retrieval of indexed code information.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Find implementations of a PHP method or function across the Magento codebase. Searches method names, function definitions, and class method lists. See also: magento_find_class (parent class), magento_find_plugin (interceptors around this method). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Magector MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Magector MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for magento_find_method: 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 Magector. Nothing to install.
magento_find_method 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 magento_find_method 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 magento_find_method. 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.
magento_find_method is provided by the Magector MCP server (magector). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
