THE RISK

Why remediate_code needs a policy

The tool modifies existing source code by applying automated fixes ('automatically fix... code issues'). This is a Write operation as it alters files reversibly (code can be reverted via version control). Severity is high because automated code changes across a codebase can introduce regressions, alter logic unintentionally, or overwrite developer work if misused by an AI agent.

POLICY

How to control remediate_code

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "remediate_code": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "remediate_code_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

remediate_code stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register React Native MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about remediate_code

What does the remediate_code tool do? +

Automatically fix React Native code issues with expert-level solutions. It is categorised as a Write tool in the React Native MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on remediate_code? +

Register the React Native MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remediate_code: 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 React Native MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is remediate_code? +

remediate_code is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit remediate_code? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the remediate_code 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 remediate_code completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for remediate_code. 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 remediate_code? +

remediate_code is provided by the React Native MCP Server MCP server (mrnitro360/react-native-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every React Native MCP Server tool call.

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