WHAT IT DOES

What swift_package_init does on XcodeBazelMCP

AI agents use swift_package_init 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 swift_package_init is rated Medium

This tool creates new files and directory structure for a Swift package. It's a Write operation as it creates new data (package files, configuration) in the filesystem. While it modifies the filesystem, it's reversible by deleting the created files. Severity is medium as misuse could overwrite or pollute a directory with unwanted package scaffolding.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

swift_package_init Rate-limited

swift_package_init 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.

    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect XcodeBazelMCP, apply this rule, and every swift_package_init call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about swift_package_init

What does the swift_package_init tool do? +

Initialize a new Swift package in the given directory (. It is categorised as a Write tool in the XcodeBazelMCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on swift_package_init? +

Register the XcodeBazel MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for swift_package_init: 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.

What risk level is swift_package_init? +

swift_package_init is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit swift_package_init? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the swift_package_init 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.

How do I block swift_package_init completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for swift_package_init. 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.

What MCP server provides swift_package_init? +

swift_package_init 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.
