What check_conflict does on Codevira MCP

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

Low Risk

Why check_conflict needs a policy

This tool retrieves and compares data (proposed decision against existing decisions) to detect conflicts. It performs a read operation with no side effects on the decision store itself. Severity is medium rather than low because incorrect conflict detection could lead an AI agent to make contradictory decisions that damage project consistency, though the tool itself does not execute those decisions or delete data.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'check_conflict' that checks whether a proposed decision contradicts any existing decision. The description indicates it queries or validates against stored decisions without modifying them.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access check_conflict gives an agent:

How to control check_conflict

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "check_conflict": {}
  }
}

check_conflict 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 Codevira 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 check_conflict tool do? +

Check whether a proposed decision contradicts any. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Codevira MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on check_conflict? +

Register the Codevira MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for check_conflict: 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 Codevira MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is check_conflict? +

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

Can I rate-limit check_conflict? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the check_conflict 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 check_conflict completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for check_conflict. 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 check_conflict? +

check_conflict is provided by the Codevira MCP server (sachinshelke/codevira). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Codevira MCP tool call.

Start from Codevira MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
