Takes a natural language query and returns matched file paths from the query index, along with import/dependency topology context.
AI agents call query_topology to retrieve information from Project Context Map without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation: it searches a query index and returns structured information about project topology and file paths. There are no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive actions. The natural language input is used for searching/filtering only, not for executing arbitrary operations.
From the tool's definition Tool 'query_topology' returns 'matched file paths from the query index, along with import/dependency topology context'—it retrieves and queries data without modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Takes a natural language query and returns matched file paths from the query index, along with import/dependency topology context. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Project Context Map MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Project Context Map MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for query_topology: 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 Project Context Map. Nothing to install.
query_topology 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 query_topology 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 query_topology. 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.
query_topology is provided by the Project Context Map MCP server (tamojit-123/project-context-map-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
