review-code

Review code for bugs, security issues, performance, or style problems. Simplified zen-inspired tool for systematic code review.

How to control review-code ↓

AI agents call review-code to retrieve information from Ultra MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Code review is a read/analysis operation: it inspects provided code and returns findings. No data is written, executed, or deleted. The 'zen-inspired' and 'systematic code review' framing reinforces a passive analysis role. Misuse risk is low since the tool only produces a report.

From the tool's definition 'Review code for bugs, security issues, performance, or style problems' — the tool analyzes and reports on code without modifying it.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access review-code gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "review-code": {}
  }
}

review-code is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Ultra MCP — 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.

What does the review-code tool do? +

Review code for bugs, security issues, performance, or style problems. Simplified zen-inspired tool for systematic code review. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ultra MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on review-code? +

Register the Ultra MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for review-code: 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 Ultra MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is review-code? +

review-code is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit review-code? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the review-code 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 review-code completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for review-code. 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 review-code? +

review-code is provided by the Ultra MCP server (realmikechong/ultra-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ultra MCP tool call.
