Why get_project_info needs a policy

This tool only fetches and returns data about the Django project structure and configuration. It has no side effects, cannot modify state, and presents no blast radius if invoked by an AI agent. It is a straightforward read operation consistent with the Read category definition (retrieves or queries data; no side effects).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_project_info' and description explicitly states it retrieves/queries 'comprehensive project information including Python environment and Django configuration' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

How to control get_project_info

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

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

get_project_info 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 Django 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.
