Code health signals for a scope: dead code, cycles, god nodes, orphan files, complexity hotspots
AI agents call health_report 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.
The health_report tool performs static analysis and generates reports on code quality metrics. It retrieves and displays information about code structure and health indicators without creating, modifying, executing, or deleting any resources. This is a pure Read operation with minimal risk—an AI agent cannot cause harmful side effects by querying health metrics. The tool is informational only.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it provides 'code health signals' including analysis of 'dead code, cycles, god nodes, orphan files, complexity hotspots'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Code health signals for a scope: dead code, cycles, god nodes, orphan files, complexity hotspots. 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 health_report: 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.
health_report 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 health_report 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 health_report. 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.
health_report 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.
Every MCP server has a record like this.
