Why get_run_metrics needs a policy

This tool retrieves metric data from a specific MLflow run. It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no deletion. The action is informational and safe; misuse would only expose existing metrics data rather than cause harm through execution or destruction.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_run_metrics' and description 'Get all metrics for a specific run with their latest values' indicate a retrieval operation that queries and returns data without modifying or executing anything.

How to control get_run_metrics

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

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

get_run_metrics 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 MLflow 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.
