Why get_session needs a policy

This tool retrieves and returns historical session data in a read-only manner. It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, does not execute code or commands, and does not involve financial operations. The action is purely informational—reconstructing a chronological view of past interactions for recall purposes, which aligns with the 'Read' category for data retrieval operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_session' and description 'Return one logical session as a single chronological timeline' indicate retrieval and querying of stored session data with no modification, deletion, or external execution.

How to control get_session

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

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

get_session 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 Lore — 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.
