# gql_category Returns a Category by ID (GraphQL). Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `gql_category`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/gql-category ## Facts - Tool: `gql_category` - Server: Thinkific MCP Server (`ackbarguppi-ai/thinkific-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/ackbarguppi-ai/thinkific-mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "gql_category", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## 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 own definition: "Tool name 'gql_category' and description 'Returns a Category by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects." ## Use case 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Thinkific MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "gql_category": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Thinkific MCP Server (108) - `delete_category` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/delete-category.md - `delete_coupon` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/delete-coupon.md - `delete_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/delete-group.md - `delete_instructor` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/delete-instructor.md - `delete_promotion` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/delete-promotion.md - `delete_site_script` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/delete-site-script.md - `delete_user` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/delete-user.md - `gql_bulk_remove_users_from_groups` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/gql-bulk-remove-users-from-groups.md - `remove_group_analyst` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/remove-group-analyst.md - `remove_products_from_category` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/remove-products-from-category.md - `create_external_order` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/create-external-order.md - `purchase_external_order` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/purchase-external-order.md - `refund_external_order` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/refund-external-order.md - `get_bundle` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-bundle.md - `get_category` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-category.md - `get_chapter` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-chapter.md - `get_content` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-content.md - `get_coupon` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-coupon.md - `get_course` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-course.md - `get_course_review` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-course-review.md - `get_enrollment` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-enrollment.md - `get_group` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-group.md - `get_instructor` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-instructor.md - `get_order` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-order.md - `get_performance_metrics` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-performance-metrics.md - `get_product` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-product.md - `get_promotion` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-promotion.md - `get_promotion_by_coupon` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-promotion-by-coupon.md - `get_publish_request` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-publish-request.md - `get_site_info` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp/get-site-info.md - …and 78 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/ackbarguppi-ai-thinkific-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
