Get read-only SonarQube component measures for metric keys.
AI agents call get_component_measures to retrieve information from Sonarqube Api without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves SonarQube metrics and measures without side effects. It queries code quality data for analysis purposes only. The read-only designation and retrieval-only semantics clearly place it in the Read category with low severity, as misuse would only result in information disclosure of existing metrics, not data loss or system compromise.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'read-only' and 'Get...component measures for metric keys' indicating data retrieval.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get read-only SonarQube component measures for metric keys. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sonarqube Api MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sonarqube Api MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_component_measures: 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 Sonarqube Api. Nothing to install.
get_component_measures 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 get_component_measures 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 get_component_measures. 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.
get_component_measures is provided by the Sonarqube Api MCP server (yozzone/sonarqube-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
