Detect code elements that are missing documentation and categorize them by severity (critical, medium, low).
AI agents call detect_missing_docs to retrieve information from Smart Docs MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool analyzes a codebase to identify undocumented elements and categorizes them by severity. It reads/queries codebase metadata without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing code. The output is informational analysis intended to guide documentation efforts, with no side effects on the codebase itself.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'detect_missing_docs' and description 'Detect code elements that are missing documentation' indicate a query/analysis operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access detect_missing_docs gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Smart Docs MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for detect_missing_docs:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"detect_missing_docs": {}
}
}detect_missing_docs is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Detect code elements that are missing documentation and categorize them by severity (critical, medium, low). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Smart Docs MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Smart Docs MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for detect_missing_docs: 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 Smart Docs MCP Server. Nothing to install.
detect_missing_docs 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 detect_missing_docs 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 detect_missing_docs. 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.
detect_missing_docs is provided by the Smart Docs MCP Server MCP server (njengah/claude-4.5-mcp-tutorial). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Smart Docs MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
