Why retrieve_extension needs a policy

The verb 'retrieve' conventionally indicates fetching or querying data without side effects. In the Storyblok context, extensions are likely configuration objects that would be read to understand available plugins or customizations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'retrieve_extension' suggests data retrieval. Sibling tools on this server include write operations (add_webhook, bulk_create_stories, bulk_update_stories), execute operations (ai_translate_story), and destructive operations (bulk_delete_stories),…

POLICY

How to control retrieve_extension

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

policy.json

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

retrieve_extension 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 Storyblok 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.
