What execute_opencode_command does on OpenCode MCP Server

AI agents invoke execute_opencode_command to trigger actions in OpenCode MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why execute_opencode_command needs a policy

The tool allows execution of arbitrary OpenCode CLI commands with unrestricted flexibility. Since OpenCode is a coding agent that runs terminal-based tasks, this tool provides the ability to execute code and shell commands whose effects depend entirely on the arguments passed. This poses critical risk: an AI agent could execute malicious commands, exfiltrate data, modify system state, or compromise security.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Execute any OpenCode CLI command with full flexibility.' The server integrates a coding agent that executes 'terminal-based coding tasks' and provides tools for 'running commands.' This enables arbitrary command execution via the…

How to control execute_opencode_command

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OpenCode MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for execute_opencode_command:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "execute_opencode_command": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "execute_opencode_command_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

execute_opencode_command stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OpenCode MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
