List detected code clusters (directory-based communities) with member counts and top 10 symbols each. Useful for understanding code organisation.
AI agents call clusters to retrieve information from code-intel 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 and presents static analysis metadata about code organization (clusters, member counts, symbols). It performs no side effects, executes no code, and cannot modify data. The read-only nature of listing organizational metrics makes it a Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List detected code clusters' and 'Useful for understanding code organisation' — purely informational retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List detected code clusters (directory-based communities) with member counts and top 10 symbols each. Useful for understanding code organisation. It is categorised as a Read tool in the code-intel MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the code-intel MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clusters: 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 code-intel MCP Server. Nothing to install.
clusters 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 clusters 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 clusters. 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.
clusters is provided by the code-intel MCP Server MCP server (vohongtho/code-intel-platform). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
