Get Xcode version information
AI agents call xcode_version to retrieve information from Xclaude Plugin 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 Xcode version metadata without modifying, executing code, deleting data, or affecting system state. It is a straightforward informational retrieval, placing it firmly in the Read category with low severity due to minimal blast radius if misused.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'xcode_version' and description 'Get Xcode version information' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and context of querying version data align with read-only operations.

Get Xcode version information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Xclaude Plugin MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Xclaude Plugin MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for xcode_version: 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 Xclaude Plugin. Nothing to install.
xcode_version 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 xcode_version 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 xcode_version. 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.
xcode_version is provided by the Xclaude Plugin MCP server (conorluddy/xclaude-plugin). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
xcode_version is one line of Xclaude Plugin's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
