Trace a REST or GraphQL API endpoint from URL to implementation. Parses webapi.xml to find the service interface, resolves the DI preference to the concrete class, reads the execute/method body, and checks di.xml for constructor arguments. Returns the complete chain in one call.
AI agents call magento_trace_api 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.
The tool purely reads and analyzes configuration files and source code to trace an API endpoint through to its implementation. It performs no writes, executions, or destructive actions — it only retrieves and returns information about the code structure.
From the tool's definition Trace a REST or GraphQL API endpoint from URL to implementation. Parses webapi.xml to find the service interface, resolves the DI preference to the concrete class, reads the execute/method body, and checks di.xml for constructor arguments.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Trace a REST or GraphQL API endpoint from URL to implementation. Parses webapi.xml to find the service interface, resolves the DI preference to the concrete class, reads the execute/method body, and checks di.xml for constructor arguments. Returns the complete chain in one call. 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_trace_api: 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_trace_api 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_trace_api 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_trace_api. 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_trace_api 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.
