Why get_server_stats needs a policy

Without a description, classification relies on nomenclature and context. The 'get_' prefix and 'stats' suffix strongly indicate data retrieval with no side effects. The server's primary function is documentation access, not data modification or financial transactions. Stats retrieval would retrieve server performance metrics or usage data without altering state.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'get_server_stats' with empty description suggests retrieval of statistics/metrics. The name pattern 'get_' and 'stats' indicate a read-only query operation.

How to control get_server_stats

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

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

get_server_stats 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 Daraja API 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.
