AI agents call dead_code_audit to retrieve information from Sfgraph without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Dead code audits are read-only static analysis operations that query and examine code patterns to identify unused elements. No modifications, deletions, or external executions are performed—the tool retrieves and analyzes information from the knowledge graph.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'dead_code_audit' and context indicating it analyzes code without modifying it. Description is incomplete ('USE THIS for any') but tool name suggests static analysis of unreachable/unused code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
USE THIS for any. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sfgraph MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sfgraph MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for dead_code_audit: 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 Sfgraph. Nothing to install.
dead_code_audit 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 dead_code_audit 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 dead_code_audit. 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.
dead_code_audit is provided by the Sfgraph MCP server (ryanstark24/sfgraph). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
