List all configured repository groups, or show the full membership of one group. Repository groups track multiple repos as a logical system.
AI agents call group_list 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 queries and returns information about repository groups and their membership. It performs read-only operations without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access metadata about group configurations, not alter code, trigger actions, or impact systems.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List all configured repository groups' and 'show the full membership of one group' — these are retrieval operations with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all configured repository groups, or show the full membership of one group. Repository groups track multiple repos as a logical system. 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 group_list: 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.
group_list 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 group_list 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 group_list. 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.
group_list 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.
