Why ghost_search_pages needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries existing pages from Ghost CMS based on search criteria. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it only reads and filters data. The optional status filtering is a query parameter, not a state-changing operation. This is a classic Read category tool with low severity since misuse would only expose information already accessible through the CMS.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ghost_search_pages' and description 'Search for pages in Ghost CMS by query string with optional status filtering' indicate a search/query operation with no side effects.

How to control ghost_search_pages

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_search_pages:

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

ghost_search_pages 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.
