What get_user_info does on Kion MCP Server

AI agents call get_user_info to retrieve information from Kion MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_user_info needs a policy

This tool retrieves user information from the Kion platform with no apparent side effects or data modification. It follows the 'get_' pattern typical of Read operations. Severity is medium rather than low because user information in a cloud governance platform may include sensitive identity, access, or billing details that could be misused if exposed to an AI agent without proper guardrails.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_user_info' indicates a retrieval operation. Description is empty, limiting direct evidence. However, the prefix 'get_' combined with 'user_info' strongly suggests querying user data without modification.

How to control get_user_info

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

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

get_user_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 Kion 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.
