THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_me needs a policy

This tool retrieves authentication and metadata information about the current API key without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a diagnostic read operation used to verify the authenticated user's identity and session status. While it reveals some user information, the blast radius is minimal as it only returns data about the requesting user's own authentication context.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get API key information including name, creation date, and user email' and 'verify authentication is working correctly'.

POLICY

How to control get_me

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

policy.json

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

get_me 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 Cloud Agent 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.
