Code quality analysis. Actions: dead_code|similar_functions|complexity|large_files|outdated_patterns|full_analysis|analysis_summary|undocumented
AI agents call analyze to retrieve information from Project Graph without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs static code analysis and reporting only. All listed actions (dead_code detection, complexity measurement, pattern identification, documentation review) are read-only operations that inspect code and return analysis results without modifying files, executing code, or causing side effects. The server's stated purpose of 'code reading and editing' focuses the analyze function on the read portion.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'analyze' and description 'Code quality analysis' with actions limited to inspection and reporting (dead_code, similar_functions, complexity, large_files, outdated_patterns, full_analysis, analysis_summary, undocumented).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Code quality analysis. Actions: dead_code|similar_functions|complexity|large_files|outdated_patterns|full_analysis|analysis_summary|undocumented. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Project Graph MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Project Graph MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze: 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 Project Graph. Nothing to install.
analyze 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 analyze 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 analyze. 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.
analyze is provided by the Project Graph MCP server (rnd-pro/project-graph-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
