Structured snapshot of the project or a module: name, purpose
AI agents call get_summary to retrieve information from Code Context without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries project or module metadata without side effects. It is a read-only information gathering function consistent with other context-providing tools on this code-context server (search_repo, find_definition, get_file_tree). No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed.
From the tool's definition Tool provides a 'structured snapshot' of project metadata (name, purpose) with no ability to modify or execute operations. The description indicates retrieval of static information only.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Structured snapshot of the project or a module: name, purpose. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Code Context MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Code Context MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_summary: 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 Code Context. Nothing to install.
get_summary 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 get_summary 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 get_summary. 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.
get_summary is provided by the Code Context MCP server (nachogeinfor-ops/code-context). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
