Find all references to a symbol across the project or in a specific file.
AI agents call find_references to retrieve information from GDScript Code Analyzer without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves symbol reference information across a codebase using tree-sitter parsing. It performs a query/search operation analogous to 'find' or 'search' commands, returning analysis results without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any code. The blast radius is minimal - an AI agent cannot cause harm by finding references to symbols.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Find all references to a symbol' - a search/query operation with no modification of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Find all references to a symbol across the project or in a specific file. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GDScript Code Analyzer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the GDScript Code Analyzer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_references: 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 GDScript Code Analyzer. Nothing to install.
find_references 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 find_references 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 find_references. 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.
find_references is provided by the GDScript Code Analyzer MCP server (minami110/mcp-gdscript). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
find_references is one line of GDScript Code Analyzer's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
