Get the dependency neighborhood of a specific function or file.
AI agents call repomap_around to retrieve information from RepoMap without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries structural information about code dependencies and relationships. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or perform financial operations. It is purely informational, analyzing existing codebase data to provide context about how functions or files relate to one another.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'repomap_around' and description 'Get the dependency neighborhood of a specific function or file' indicate a retrieval operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access repomap_around gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and RepoMap, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for repomap_around:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"repomap_around": {}
}
}repomap_around is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the dependency neighborhood of a specific function or file. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RepoMap MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RepoMap MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for repomap_around: 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 RepoMap. Nothing to install.
repomap_around 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 repomap_around 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 repomap_around. 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.
repomap_around is provided by the RepoMap MCP server (tusharkarkera22/repomap-ai). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from RepoMap, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
