THE RISK

Low Risk

Why cache-view needs a policy

The tool performs inspection/viewing of cache entries, which is a non-destructive retrieval operation with no side effects. It aligns with the Read category definition of retrieving or querying data without side effects. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—viewing cache entries cannot modify system state or cause harm even if misused by an agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'cache-view' and description 'Inspect specific cache entries in Magento 2' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves and displays cache data without modification.

POLICY

How to control cache-view

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Magento 2 Development MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for cache-view:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "cache-view": {}
  }
}

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