Why get_profile needs a policy

This tool retrieves user profile data for an authenticated user. It performs a simple query operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The description explicitly states it 'gets' information, which is a read-only operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_profile' and description 'Get authenticated user profile information' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

How to control get_profile

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Ap2, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_profile:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_profile": {}
  }
}

get_profile 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 Mcp Ap2 — 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.
