Why get_resource_search_text needs a policy

This tool retrieves pre-extracted search text metadata from a resource, which is a read-only query operation. It does not modify, delete, or execute anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could extract text from unintended resources but cannot harm data integrity or trigger external operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_' and description states 'Get extracted search text from a resource' — indicates retrieval of indexed/extracted text without modification or execution.

POLICY

How to control get_resource_search_text

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

policy.json

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

get_resource_search_text 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 Evernote 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.
