THE RISK

Low Risk

Why retrieve_single_branch needs a policy

This tool queries and returns information about a branch/pipeline by ID. It performs no writes, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only view branch metadata it is authorized to access. This is a straightforward Read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'retrieve_single_branch' and description 'Retrieves a single branch (pipeline) by its ID via the Storyblok Management API' indicate a read-only query operation.

POLICY

How to control retrieve_single_branch

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_single_branch:

policy.json

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

retrieve_single_branch 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.
