Get normalized CodingToolMetrics for cross-tool comparison.
AI agents call windsurf_get_normalized_metrics to retrieve information from Sage MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and normalizes existing metrics data for comparison purposes. The verb 'Get' combined with 'for cross-tool comparison' indicates a read-only operation that has no side effects on any data or systems. There is no indication of data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial transactions. The blast radius is minimal as the tool only exposes existing metrics information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'windsurf_get_normalized_metrics' and description 'Get normalized CodingToolMetrics for cross-tool comparison' indicate a retrieval operation that queries metrics data without modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access windsurf_get_normalized_metrics gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sage MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for windsurf_get_normalized_metrics:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"windsurf_get_normalized_metrics": {}
}
}windsurf_get_normalized_metrics is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get normalized CodingToolMetrics for cross-tool comparison. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sage MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sage MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for windsurf_get_normalized_metrics: 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 Sage MCP. Nothing to install.
windsurf_get_normalized_metrics 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 windsurf_get_normalized_metrics 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 windsurf_get_normalized_metrics. 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.
windsurf_get_normalized_metrics is provided by the Sage MCP server (sagemcp/sagemcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
