Why sys-check needs a policy

The tool performs system diagnostics and configuration checks, which are read-only operations. It queries the state of Magento 2 system requirements and configuration settings but does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only gather information about the system state, not affect it.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'sys-check' and description 'Check Magento 2 system requirements and configuration' indicate a diagnostic/validation operation that retrieves and reports status information without modifying any data or triggering external operations.

How to control sys-check

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 sys-check:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "sys-check": {}
  }
}

sys-check 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 Magento 2 Development MCP Server — 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.
