Why get_plan needs a policy

This tool retrieves an existing plan object by its identifier. There is no indication of modification, deletion, execution, or financial transaction. It is a simple data retrieval operation analogous to 'fetch' or 'query', making it a Read category tool with low severity due to minimal blast radius if misused—the worst case being information disclosure of existing plans.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_plan' and description 'Get a plan by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and the pattern of querying data by identifier are characteristic of read-only operations.

How to control get_plan

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

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

get_plan 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 Valkey MCP Task Management Server — 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.
