Why bazel_tvos_discover_targets needs a policy

This tool performs a discovery/enumeration operation to list available tvOS targets in a Bazel project. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not delete anything. It is purely informational, similar to a 'list' or 'query' operation that reads metadata about build configuration.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'discover' and description states it 'discovers Bazel tvOS application and unit test targets' — a retrieval operation that queries existing build targets without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.

How to control bazel_tvos_discover_targets

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and XcodeBazelMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for bazel_tvos_discover_targets:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "bazel_tvos_discover_targets": {}
  }
}

bazel_tvos_discover_targets is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register XcodeBazelMCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
