Why sicry_fetch needs a policy

This tool retrieves and parses web content but does not modify, delete, or execute code. While the underlying Tor network enables access to hidden services on the dark web (which may host illegal content), the tool itself is a passive HTTP fetcher that reads and returns page metadata. The risk is informational access, not capability for harm—comparable to a standard web scraper or curl request.

How to control sicry_fetch

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

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

sicry_fetch 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 Sicry — 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.
