Why scan_all_tools needs a policy

This tool performs a security audit by examining existing tool policies for vulnerabilities (typosquatting, hidden unicode). It has no side effects—it reads policy configurations and produces a report. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. This is a classic Read operation: passive analysis of existing state with informational output.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'returns a per-tool risk assessment summary' via scanning, with no indication of data modification, deletion, or external execution. The word 'scan' and 'returns' indicate query/inspection operations.

How to control scan_all_tools

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

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

scan_all_tools 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 Pypi:asqav — 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.
