WHAT IT DOES

What bazel_ios_set_workspace does on XcodeBazelMCP

AI agents use bazel_ios_set_workspace to create or update resources in XcodeBazelMCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your XcodeBazelMCP environment.

RISK

Why bazel_ios_set_workspace is rated Medium

This tool modifies workspace configuration settings (the workspace path and optionally the Bazel binary path), which are stored state that influences later tool behavior. While not destructive or financially impactful, it is a Write operation because it changes configuration that persists across tool invocations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Set the Bazel iOS workspace and optional Bazel binary path used by later tools' — the verb 'Set' indicates modification of configuration state that affects subsequent operations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs bazel_ios_set_workspace 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_set_workspace, this is the rule to start with:

bazel_ios_set_workspace Rate-limited

bazel_ios_set_workspace stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
