What references does on Vigentic MCP

AI agents call references 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 references needs a policy

This tool queries LSP to find all references to a symbol at a given position in a file. It is a read-only navigation/lookup operation with no side effects.

Questions about references

What does the references tool do? +

Resolve references 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 references? +

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

What risk level is references? +

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

Can I rate-limit references? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the 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.

How do I block references completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for 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.

What MCP server provides references? +

references 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.
