THE RISK

Why get_asset_passwords needs a policy

This tool retrieves credential data, placing it in the Read category. However, the sensitivity of password assets elevates severity to 'high' because unauthorized access to credentials could enable lateral movement, account compromise, and cascading breaches across systems. The high blast radius—even though the tool itself performs no destructive or financial actions—justifies the elevated severity designation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_asset_passwords' and description 'Retrieve password assets (credentials) for a company' indicate data retrieval of sensitive credentials without modification.

POLICY

How to control get_asset_passwords

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

policy.json

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

get_asset_passwords 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 HUDU 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.
