Why plan_salt_migration needs a policy

With no description available, we can only infer from the name. 'Plan' suggests a read/analysis operation that generates a migration plan without executing changes, most likely similar to sibling tools like 'assess_salt_migration_complexity' which appear to be analytical/read tools. However, confidence is low due to the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool description is empty and uninformative; tool name 'plan_salt_migration' only suggests planning a Salt-to-Ansible migration.

How to control plan_salt_migration

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "plan_salt_migration": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "plan_salt_migration_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

plan_salt_migration gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register SousChef — 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.
