Get structured file analysis ready for AI to generate a summary description
AI agents call gid_get_file_summary to retrieve information from GID MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and structures existing file analysis data to prepare it for summarization. It performs a query/fetch operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute code. The action is read-only and informational in nature, making it a Read category tool with low severity since misuse would only expose or analyze data without destructive consequences.

Register the GID MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gid_get_file_summary: 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 GID MCP Server. Nothing to install.
gid_get_file_summary 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 gid_get_file_summary 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.
