AI agents call list_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.
The tool retrieves or filters existing reflection records from the shared knowledge base without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. This is a classic read operation with minimal blast radius—misuse would only expose information already stored in the system rather than cause side effects or irreversible changes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_reflections' combined with description 'Filtered reflection list' indicates retrieval and querying of stored reflection data with no modification or execution.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_reflections gives an agent:
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 list_reflections:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_reflections": {}
}
}list_reflections is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

v3.1.0 M8: Filtered reflection list. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Codevira MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Codevira MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_reflections: 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.
list_reflections 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 list_reflections 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 list_reflections. 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.
list_reflections 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.
Start from Codevira MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
