WHAT IT DOES

What gql_category does on Thinkific MCP Server

AI agents call gql_category to retrieve information from Thinkific MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why gql_category is rated Low

This tool fetches a single category resource by its identifier using GraphQL. The verb 'Returns' and the retrieval-only nature (no create, update, delete, or execute operations mentioned) classify it as a Read operation. Severity is low because retrieving category metadata poses minimal risk—no data is modified, deleted, or executed. The straightforward description provides high confidence in this classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'gql_category' and description 'Returns a Category by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs gql_category safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Thinkific MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gql_category, this is the rule to start with:

gql_category Allowed

gql_category is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "gql_category": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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