AI agents call get_file_dependencies to retrieve information from CoordMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool appears to retrieve or analyze file dependencies for coordination purposes within the shared project environment. The 'get_' prefix strongly suggests a read-only operation. No language in the name suggests mutation, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_file_dependencies' indicates retrieval of dependency information; no description provided but naming convention suggests a query operation that analyzes or retrieves existing file dependency data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_file_dependencies. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CoordMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Coord MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_file_dependencies: 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 CoordMCP. Nothing to install.
get_file_dependencies 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_file_dependencies 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_file_dependencies. 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_file_dependencies is provided by the Coord MCP server (siddiquesahabaj/coordmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
