How to control generate_code ↓

AI agents invoke generate_code to trigger actions in Proxima. 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.

High Risk

The name 'generate_code' strongly implies the tool produces executable code. On a gateway that integrates multiple AI providers for coding tasks, this tool likely invokes an AI to write code and potentially execute or inject it into a development environment. The empty description lowers confidence, but the server context ('enabling coding') and the tool name suggest Execute-level risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'generate_code' on a server described as enabling 'coding' via AI providers; description is empty and uninformative.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access generate_code gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_code": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate_code_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

generate_code 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Proxima — 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.

What does the generate_code tool do? +

generate_code. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Proxima MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on generate_code? +

Register the Proxima MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_code: 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 Proxima. Nothing to install.

What risk level is generate_code? +

generate_code is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit generate_code? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate_code 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 generate_code completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for generate_code. 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 generate_code? +

generate_code is provided by the Proxima MCP server (zen4-bit/proxima). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Proxima tool call.
