Why list_addresses needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays saved addresses without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation on address data. While the server handles payment-related operations, this specific tool only lists existing data, making it a Read category with low severity—the blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure of address records.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_addresses' and description 'List saved addresses' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modifications or side effects.

How to control list_addresses

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 list_addresses:

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

list_addresses 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.
