Given an array of npm package names (and optional versions), fetch whether each package ships its own TypeScript definitions or has a corresponding @types/… package, and return the raw .d.ts text. Useful whenwhen you
AI agents call get_dependency_types to retrieve information from Node Js Sandbox MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Even though get_dependency_types only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Given an array of npm package names (and optional versions), fetch whether each package ships its own TypeScript definitions or has a corresponding @types/… package, and return the raw .d.ts text. Useful whenwhen you. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Node Js Sandbox MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Node Js Sandbox MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_dependency_types: 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 Node Js Sandbox MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_dependency_types 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_dependency_types 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_dependency_types. 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_dependency_types is provided by the Node Js Sandbox MCP Server MCP server (ssdeanx/node-code-sandbox-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
