get_node_source
AI agents call get_node_source to retrieve information from Understand-Anything MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves source code or node metadata from a knowledge graph structure. It performs a query operation with no side effects—it does not execute code, modify data, or trigger external operations. The lack of write/delete/execute keywords and alignment with other read-only analysis tools on the server confirm Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_node_source' indicates retrieval of source code or node information from a knowledge graph. The server context emphasizes querying and analyzing codebases (fuzzy search, tracing, analysis).

get_node_source 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_node_source 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_node_source. 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.
