Get detailed info about a specific package.
AI agents call tool_get_package_info to retrieve information from Codelens-MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries information about packages—a read-only operation with no side effects, code execution, or data modification. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: an agent could gather information about packages but cannot install, execute, or alter them.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'tool_get_package_info' and description 'Get detailed info about a specific package' indicate retrieval of package metadata without modification or execution.

Get detailed info about a specific package. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Codelens-MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Codelens- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tool_get_package_info: 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 Codelens-MCP. Nothing to install.
tool_get_package_info is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the tool_get_package_info 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 tool_get_package_info. 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.
tool_get_package_info is provided by the Codelens- MCP server (yashkashte5/codelens-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
