Why get_application_rca needs a policy

This tool retrieves pre-computed or generated root cause analysis results from the Coroot observability platform. It has no side effects on the system—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The analysis is generated by Coroot's AI engine, but the tool itself only reads and returns results.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_application_rca' and description 'Get AI-powered root cause analysis for application issues' indicate a retrieval operation that queries existing analysis data without modifying, deleting, or executing code. The verb 'get' is a read operation.

POLICY

How to control get_application_rca

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_application_rca": {}
  }
}

get_application_rca is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register MCP Server for Coroot — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
