How to control get_applications_overview

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_applications_overview:

policy.json

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

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