Why get-di-preferences needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays the dependency injection preferences configuration in Magento 2. It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects—it neither modifies data, executes arbitrary operations, deletes content, nor affects financial systems. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since an AI agent cannot cause harm by reading configuration metadata.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'Get' (retrieves) a 'preferences list' (queries/returns data). The use of magerun2 to read dependency injection configuration without modification.

POLICY

How to control get-di-preferences

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 get-di-preferences:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get-di-preferences": {}
  }
}

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