Get specific findings filtered by severity, category, or file
AI agents call get_findings to retrieve information from MCP Code Analyzer 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 existing security analysis findings with optional filtering parameters. It has no side effects, does not execute code, create resources, delete data, or commit financial transactions. It is purely a read operation on static analysis results already produced by upstream tools like Semgrep and ESLint.
From the tool's definition Tool is described as 'Get specific findings filtered by severity, category, or file' — uses GET verb and performs information retrieval with filters, with no indication of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get specific findings filtered by severity, category, or file. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Code Analyzer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Code Analyzer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_findings: 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 MCP Code Analyzer. Nothing to install.
get_findings 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_findings 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_findings. 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_findings is provided by the MCP Code Analyzer MCP server (polocap/mcp_security). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
