Get information about the currently initialized code repository.
AI agents call get_repo_info to retrieve information from Code Analysis MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves read-only information about a repository's state and structure. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, and poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent. This is a straightforward Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool is named 'get_repo_info' and described as 'Get information about the currently initialized code repository.' This is a retrieval operation that queries metadata about a repository without modifying or executing anything.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_repo_info gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Code Analysis MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_repo_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_repo_info": {}
}
}get_repo_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get information about the currently initialized code repository. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Code Analysis MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Code Analysis MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_repo_info: 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 Code Analysis MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_repo_info 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 get_repo_info 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 get_repo_info. 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.
get_repo_info is provided by the Code Analysis MCP Server MCP server (saiprashanths/code-analysis-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Code Analysis MCP Server, 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.
