Run a Bazel visionOS unit test target (visionos_unit_test).
AI agents invoke bazel_visionos_test to trigger actions in XcodeBazelMCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
The tool executes test code by running a Bazel build and test target on a visionOS simulator or device. 'Run' indicates active execution of code. While tests are generally benign, executing arbitrary test targets can trigger side effects, consume significant resources, or run malicious code embedded in test targets. This falls under Execute as it actively runs code/commands.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access bazel_visionos_test gives an agent:
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_visionos_test:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"bazel_visionos_test": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "bazel_visionos_test_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}bazel_visionos_test stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Run a Bazel visionOS unit test target (visionos_unit_test). It is categorised as a Execute tool in the XcodeBazelMCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the XcodeBazel MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for bazel_visionos_test: 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 XcodeBazelMCP. Nothing to install.
bazel_visionos_test is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the bazel_visionos_test 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 bazel_visionos_test. 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.
bazel_visionos_test is provided by the XcodeBazel MCP server (xcodebazelmcp/xcodebazelmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from XcodeBazelMCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
