What get_reflections does on Codevira MCP

AI agents call get_reflections 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 get_reflections needs a policy

The tool queries and returns existing reflection data (top-K results ordered by recency). No creation, modification, deletion, or execution occurs. This is a retrieval operation with no side effects, fitting the Read category. Severity is low because reflections are informational/contextual data with minimal blast radius if misused.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves 'most recent reflections' without modification; verb 'get' and read-only query pattern indicate data retrieval only.

How to control get_reflections

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 get_reflections:

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

get_reflections 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.
