WHAT IT DOES

What search_code_repository does on Metis Public Health

AI agents call search_code_repository to retrieve information from Metis Public Health without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why search_code_repository is rated Low

Searching a code repository is fundamentally a read operation that retrieves information without modifying, executing, or deleting data. No side effects are implied by the operation itself. The confidence is slightly reduced (0.85 rather than higher) due to the missing description, but the semantics of 'search' in this context are unambiguous as a lookup/query operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_code_repository' indicates querying/retrieval of code repository contents. The description is empty, limiting direct evidence, but the verb 'search' strongly suggests read-only data retrieval without side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_code_repository safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Metis Public Health, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search_code_repository, this is the rule to start with:

search_code_repository Allowed

search_code_repository is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_code_repository": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Metis Public Health, apply this rule, and every search_code_repository call is checked against it from then on.
