Why list_investments needs a policy

While the server context involves payments and financial operations, this specific tool performs read-only data retrieval, making it a Read category risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_investments' uses 'list' verb; description states 'List investment products' indicating data retrieval operation. The phrase 'via Open Finance' confirms this is a query/retrieval interface with no modification capability.

How to control list_investments

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_investments:

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

list_investments 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.
