Why get_trends needs a policy

This tool retrieves marketplace trending data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward query that returns information to inform decision-making but does not alter system state. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only spam requests or extract information, neither of which causes harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_trends' and description 'Get trending searches in the marketplace' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects. The verb 'Get' and absence of any mutative, destructive, or financial language confirms read-only operation.

How to control get_trends

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_trends:

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

get_trends 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.
