Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Request a code review from a senior AI developer. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Senior Consult MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Senior Consult MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for code_review: 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 Senior Consult MCP. Nothing to install.
code_review 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 code_review 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 code_review. 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.
code_review is provided by the Senior Consult MCP server (silkyland/senior-consult-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
