List all Zustand stores and Redux Toolkit slices with their state fields, actions/reducers, and dispatch sites. Use to understand state management architecture. Read-only. Returns JSON: { stores: [{ type, name, handler, metadata }], dispatches, totalStores, totalDispatches }.
AI agents call get_state_stores to retrieve information from Trace 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 state management information from source code analysis. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations. The 'Read-only' designation and return-only behavior (returning JSON metadata) confirm it is a Read category tool with minimal risk of misuse.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read-only' and lists retrieval operations: 'List all Zustand stores and Redux Toolkit slices', 'understand state management architecture'. Returns JSON data without modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_state_stores gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Trace, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_state_stores:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_state_stores": {}
}
}get_state_stores is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all Zustand stores and Redux Toolkit slices with their state fields, actions/reducers, and dispatch sites. Use to understand state management architecture. Read-only. Returns JSON: { stores: [{ type, name, handler, metadata }], dispatches, totalStores, totalDispatches }. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Trace MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Trace MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_state_stores: 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 Trace. Nothing to install.
get_state_stores 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_state_stores 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_state_stores. 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_state_stores is provided by the Trace MCP server (nikolai-vysotskyi/trace-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
