refine_prompt

Refines a prompt using local semantic memory, a local AI model for rewriting, and real-time external documentation (Context7) to make it more contextual and efficient.

What refine_prompt does on OpenCode MCP Server

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

Why refine_prompt needs a policy

This tool performs prompt enhancement through information retrieval and local processing. It reads from semantic memory and documentation sources to generate an improved prompt as output. No data is persisted back to external systems, no code is executed, and no irreversible changes occur. The blast radius of misuse is limited to potentially confusing prompt output, which constitutes a low-severity read operation.

From the tool's definition The tool 'refines a prompt using local semantic memory' and external documentation. Key verbs indicate retrieval and processing: 'refines', 'using', 'rewriting' - all read-only operations.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access refine_prompt gives an agent:

How to control refine_prompt

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

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

refine_prompt 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 OpenCode MCP Server — 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.

Questions about refine_prompt

What does the refine_prompt tool do? +

Refines a prompt using local semantic memory, a local AI model for rewriting, and real-time external documentation (Context7) to make it more contextual and efficient. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OpenCode MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on refine_prompt? +

Register the OpenCode MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for refine_prompt: 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 OpenCode MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is refine_prompt? +

refine_prompt is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit refine_prompt? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the refine_prompt 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.

How do I block refine_prompt completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for refine_prompt. 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.

What MCP server provides refine_prompt? +

refine_prompt is provided by the OpenCode MCP Server MCP server (marlondivino/open-code-as-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every OpenCode MCP Server tool call.

Start from OpenCode MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
