Why list_fathom_teams needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves existing team data from Fathom without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It simply enumerates accessible teams to support other operations. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent misusing this would only gain visibility into team names and metadata already accessible to the authenticated user.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List all teams accessible to the user in Fathom' and returns team metadata (name, created_at). The verb 'list' and the retrieval-only nature with no modification, deletion, or execution capability indicate a read operation.

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_fathom_teams": {}
  }

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
