📊 Get basic repository metadata, statistics, and key information. Atomic tool focused purely on repository-level data without file content analysis.
AI agents call get_repository_info to retrieve information from CodeCompass MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and queries repository metadata and statistics only. It performs no modifications, executions, deletions, or financial operations. The 'Atomic' characterization and explicit scope limitation to metadata retrieval (without file content or code analysis) confirms this is a safe Read operation with minimal blast radius if misused.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get basic repository metadata, statistics, and key information' and is 'focused purely on repository-level data without file content analysis.' This is a read-only retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
📊 Get basic repository metadata, statistics, and key information. Atomic tool focused purely on repository-level data without file content analysis. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CodeCompass MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CodeCompass MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_repository_info: 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 CodeCompass MCP. Nothing to install.
get_repository_info 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_repository_info 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_repository_info. 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_repository_info is provided by the CodeCompass MCP server (thealchemist6/codecompass-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
