What definition does on Vigentic MCP

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

Why definition needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only LSP lookup to find where a symbol is defined. It queries navigation data without modifying any files or state.

Questions about definition

What does the definition tool do? +

Resolve the definition at a file position. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Vigentic MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on definition? +

Register the Vigentic MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for definition: 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 Vigentic MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is definition? +

Can I rate-limit definition? +

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

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

definition is provided by the Vigentic MCP server (munozu/vigentic-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
