Get current code quality rule violations
AI agents call get-violations to retrieve information from Debugger MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and reports code quality violations—a read-only operation that observes system state. It belongs in the Read category as it only queries diagnostic information. Severity is low because the blast radius of misuse is minimal; an AI agent using this tool cannot harm systems, modify code, execute commands, or cause data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-violations' and description 'Get current code quality rule violations' indicate data retrieval with no side effects. This is a monitoring/inspection operation that queries existing violations without modifying or executing code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get current code quality rule violations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Debugger MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Debugger MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get-violations: 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 Debugger MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get-violations 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-violations 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-violations. 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-violations is provided by the Debugger MCP Server MCP server (phoenixrr2113/debugger-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
