Why get_segmentation_contacts needs a policy

This tool retrieves or queries contact data from within a segmentation group. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves existing information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. While the AP2 server handles financial transactions in other tools, this specific tool is limited to data retrieval, making it a Read category risk with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_segmentation_contacts' and description 'List contacts inside a given segmentation' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

How to control get_segmentation_contacts

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_segmentation_contacts:

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

get_segmentation_contacts 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.
