Why generate_security_report needs a policy

This tool reads and compiles results from previously completed scans into a report. It does not execute code, modify data, or trigger new scans. The worst-case misuse is exposure of sensitive vulnerability details, but the tool itself is non-destructive and read-only in nature.

From the tool's definition 'Generate comprehensive security report from all scans' — aggregates and presents existing scan data without modifying or executing anything

How to control generate_security_report

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

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

generate_security_report 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 DevSecOps 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.
