AI agents call find_tests_for to retrieve information from Synapse without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Since the tool has been removed and is no longer functional, it cannot be executed or cause any side effects. If it were still active, it would be a Read operation (finding/querying test information for code symbols), which is low severity. The removal status means it poses minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'This tool has been removed. Use assess_impact instead -- it includes test coverage in its output.' The tool no longer exists and cannot be invoked.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
This tool has been removed. Use assess_impact instead -- it includes test coverage in its output. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Synapse MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Synapse MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_tests_for: 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 Synapse. Nothing to install.
find_tests_for 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_tests_for 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_tests_for. 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_tests_for is provided by the Synapse MCP server (synappscodecomprehension/synapps). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
