It performs a read-only operation with no side effects, no financial transactions, and no irreversible actions. The mock nature of the data further confirms it is informational only.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs getFlightInfo safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Genkit MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For getFlightInfo, this is the rule to start with:
getFlightInfo is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Genkit MCP, apply this rule, and every getFlightInfo call is checked against it from then on.
