Suggest test cases for a symbol: call paths, suggested cases, existing tests, untested callers
AI agents call suggest_tests 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.
suggest_tests queries code intelligence data to recommend test cases and display test-related information. It performs analysis and retrieval only, without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing code. This is a classic Read operation within a code intelligence platform.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'suggests' test cases and provides information about 'call paths, suggested cases, existing tests, untested callers'—all retrievals of static code analysis data with no modifications or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Suggest test cases for a symbol: call paths, suggested cases, existing tests, untested callers. 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 suggest_tests: 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.
suggest_tests 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 suggest_tests 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 suggest_tests. 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.
suggest_tests 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.
