Why jfrog_list_permission_targets needs a policy

This tool retrieves and enumerates existing permission targets from the JFrog platform. It performs a read-only query that does not modify, delete, or execute any operations. While permission target information could be sensitive in some contexts, the tool itself is non-destructive and causes no state changes.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'Get a list of all permission targets' — a query operation with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control jfrog_list_permission_targets

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

policy.json

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

jfrog_list_permission_targets 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 JFrog MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
