Get a high-level summary of the analyzed repository including tech stack, structure, and key components.
AI agents call repo_summary to retrieve information from Repo Therapist without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a passive query operation that gathers and reports information about an already-analyzed repository. It has no side effects, does not modify any data, and does not execute external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could at worst retrieve unwanted information about the codebase, but cannot alter or act upon it.
From the tool's definition The tool retrieves a 'high-level summary' of repository metadata including 'tech stack, structure, and key components.' The verbs 'get' and 'summary' indicate data retrieval with no modification, creation, deletion, or execution of code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a high-level summary of the analyzed repository including tech stack, structure, and key components. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Repo Therapist MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Repo Therapist MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for repo_summary: 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 Repo Therapist. Nothing to install.
repo_summary 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 repo_summary 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 repo_summary. 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.
repo_summary is provided by the Repo Therapist MCP server (salman-arefin74/repo-therapist). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
