What flows does on code-intel MCP Server

AI agents call flows 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.

Why flows needs a policy

This tool queries and returns static analysis data (execution flows, entry points, call graph traces) with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or destructive actions. It fits the Read category: retrieves/queries data for analysis purposes only.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List all detected execution flows' — a read-only operation that retrieves and displays call graph analysis without modifying code or triggering execution.

Questions about flows

What does the flows tool do? +

List all detected execution flows — entry points traced through the call graph. Each flow has a name, entry point, and ordered steps. It is categorised as a Read tool in the code-intel MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on flows? +

Register the code-intel MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for flows: 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.

What risk level is flows? +

flows is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit flows? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the flows 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 flows completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for flows. 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 flows? +

flows 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.
