This tool only queries and returns member data without side effects. It matches the Read category definition: retrieves or queries data with no side effects. The severity is low because exposure of subscriber lists, while sensitive, does not enable destructive or financial actions on its own. Confidence is high given the explicit 'Retrieves' language in the description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ghost_get_members' and description 'Retrieves a list of members (subscribers)' indicate data retrieval with 'optional filtering, pagination, and includes' — no modification or deletion of data.

How to control ghost_get_members

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

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

ghost_get_members 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 Ghost MCP 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.
