Why validate-coverage needs a policy

This tool retrieves and evaluates existing test coverage metrics to determine if they meet specified thresholds. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. It simply reads coverage data and performs a comparison check, making it a Read operation. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; worst case, an AI agent receives inaccurate coverage reports but cannot cause damage.

From the tool's definition The tool 'validate-coverage' performs validation and checking of test coverage metrics against defined thresholds.

How to control validate-coverage

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "validate-coverage": {}
  }
}

validate-coverage is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register VibeCoding System — 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.
