Why list_releases needs a policy

This tool retrieves release information from a Bugsink error tracking instance without modifying, creating, or deleting any data. It is purely informational, allowing users to query which versions are tracked. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI could only retrieve metadata about releases, not cause harm through incorrect arguments.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_releases' and description 'List releases for a project' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' and the context of querying error tracking data confirm this is a read-only operation.

How to control list_releases

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

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

list_releases 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 Bugsink 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.
