Why list_linked_endpoints needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries descriptive metadata about data services from a catalog. It has no side effects, does not execute SPARQL queries against endpoints, does not modify data, and does not trigger external operations. The action is purely informational discovery of endpoint references stored in schema.gov.it itself, characteristic of a Read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool 'lists' and 'discovers' SPARQL endpoints from the catalog without modifying, executing queries, or triggering external operations. Returns metadata only: endpoint URL, title, description, and conformsTo standard.

How to control list_linked_endpoints

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

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

list_linked_endpoints 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 Schema Gov It MCP Server — 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.
