WHAT IT DOES

What bazel_ios_get_app_container does on XcodeBazelMCP

AI agents call bazel_ios_get_app_container to retrieve information from XcodeBazelMCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why bazel_ios_get_app_container is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only query operation on simulator state to retrieve the file system path where an app container is located. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify state, and does not delete or move data. It is analogous to a filesystem lookup or metadata query.

From the tool's definition Tool description states "Get the on-disk container path for an installed app on a simulator". The verb "get" and the function "simctl get_app_container" indicate a retrieval operation that queries filesystem metadata without modifying or deleting data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs bazel_ios_get_app_container safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and XcodeBazelMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For bazel_ios_get_app_container, this is the rule to start with:

bazel_ios_get_app_container Allowed

bazel_ios_get_app_container is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
