Why file_organizer_preview_organization needs a policy

This tool performs query/inspection of hypothetical file organization outcomes without executing any modifications to the file system. It returns information about potential moves and conflicts but does not persist any changes. This is characteristic of Read category tools that have no side effects beyond retrieving and displaying data.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Shows what would happen if files were organized, WITHOUT making any changes.' The preview nature and lack of actual file operations (no moves executed, no data modified) clearly indicate this is a read-only operation…

POLICY

How to control file_organizer_preview_organization

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

policy.json

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

file_organizer_preview_organization 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 File Organizer MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
