What loadSession does on Mup

AI agents call loadSession to retrieve information from Mup without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why loadSession needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only operation that retrieves historical chat session data. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any external operations. The action is non-destructive and has minimal security impact since it only accesses existing archived data. The blast radius of misuse is limited to unauthorized information disclosure of previously stored chat sessions.

From the tool's definition "Load a specific archived chat session by its ID" - the tool retrieves/queries an existing archived session without modifying or deleting it.

How to control loadSession

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mup, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for loadSession:

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

loadSession 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 Mup — 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.
