Why get_terraform_examples needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries read-only resources: Terraform documentation from the Terraform Registry and example code from GitHub. There are no side effects, no infrastructure changes, no data modification, and no command execution. It is purely informational, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get Cisco Intersight Terraform resources and documentation. Access provider documentation from Terraform Registry and module examples from GitHub.' The verbs 'Get' and 'Access' indicate retrieval of static documentation and code…

How to control get_terraform_examples

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

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

get_terraform_examples 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 Intersight 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.
