What store_relationship does on CodeGraph

AI agents use store_relationship to create or update resources in CodeGraph — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CodeGraph environment.

Medium Risk

Why store_relationship needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data in the knowledge graph by storing relationships and potentially auto-creating entities. This is a reversible write operation with medium severity since it modifies knowledge graph state but does not execute code or delete data irreversibly.

From the tool's definition 'Store a relationship between two entities in the knowledge graph. Entities are referenced by text+type and auto-created if they don\'t exist'

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access store_relationship gives an agent:

How to control store_relationship

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "store_relationship": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "store_relationship_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

store_relationship stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register CodeGraph — 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.

Questions about store_relationship

What does the store_relationship tool do? +

Store a relationship between two entities in the knowledge graph. Entities are referenced by text+type and auto-created if they don\. It is categorised as a Write tool in the CodeGraph MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on store_relationship? +

Register the CodeGraph MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for store_relationship: 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 CodeGraph. Nothing to install.

What risk level is store_relationship? +

store_relationship is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit store_relationship? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the store_relationship 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 store_relationship completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for store_relationship. 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 store_relationship? +

store_relationship is provided by the CodeGraph MCP server (phoenixrr2113/codebase-graph). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every CodeGraph tool call.

Start from CodeGraph, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
