Why wf_list_posts needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries posts from a collection without creating, modifying, executing code, or deleting data. It is explicitly marked as a public endpoint with no authentication required, and pagination indicates simple data retrieval. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only over-query or enumerate posts, not cause data loss or unintended side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'wf_list_posts' and description states 'List posts in a collection (public endpoint — no auth required). Paginated.' The verb 'List' and the absence of any modification or deletion capability indicate a read-only retrieval operation.

How to control wf_list_posts

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

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

wf_list_posts 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 Crow — 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.
