Why get_event_json needs a policy

This tool retrieves calendar event data in JSON format without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It is a read-only query operation with no side effects. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an AI agent calling this tool cannot cause harm beyond potentially accessing calendar information the user already has access to locally.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_event_json' with description 'Machine-readable variant of get_event. Returns None-valued fields' indicates data retrieval with no modification capability. Sibling tools include multiple 'get_*' operations confirming read-only pattern.

How to control get_event_json

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

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

get_event_json 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 Fantastical MCP — 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.
