generate-code · Neosql MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What generate-code does on Neosql

AI agents use generate-code to create or update resources in Neosql — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Neosql environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why generate-code needs a policy

Code generation is a Write operation—it creates new data (code) that is reversible and has no immediate destructive or financial impact. However, the vague description ('under development') and lack of specifics about what code is generated, where it's stored, or how it's deployed create uncertainty.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'generate-code' and description stating it generates code. As a code generation tool, it would create new code artifacts (Write category). Description is minimal ('under development'), limiting confidence.

Verdict

generate-code Rate-limited

generate-code stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: every tool call is checked against your rule before it reaches Neosql, so you can run agents against it safely.

FAQ

Questions about generate-code

What does the generate-code tool do? +

Generate Code is under development. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Neosql MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on generate-code? +

Register the Neosql MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate-code: 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 Neosql. Nothing to install.

What risk level is generate-code? +

generate-code is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit generate-code? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate-code 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.

How do I block generate-code completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for generate-code. 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.

What MCP server provides generate-code? +

generate-code is provided by the Neosql MCP server (unvus/neosql-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
