Find files by name pattern in the source project at: ${resolvedSourcePath}. Supports glob patterns like
AI agents call find_files to retrieve information from Cross-Project MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves file metadata matching a pattern but does not execute code, modify data, delete anything, or commit financial obligations. It is a passive search/discovery operation with no side effects, placing it squarely in the Read category with low severity since misuse would only expose file paths or structure information.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Find files by name pattern' which is a search/query operation with no modification or execution capability. Sibling tools like 'read_file', 'search_code', and 'list_directory' confirm this server emphasizes information retrieval.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Find files by name pattern in the source project at: ${resolvedSourcePath}. Supports glob patterns like. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cross-Project MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Cross-Project MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_files: 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 Cross-Project MCP Server. Nothing to install.
find_files 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 find_files 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 find_files. 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.
find_files is provided by the Cross-Project MCP Server MCP server (sweetsrepo/cross-project-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
