Why get_menu_tree needs a policy

This tool retrieves the current menu tree configuration from PrestaShop's navigation system. It performs a query operation to read existing configuration data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The retrieved information is static configuration about which categories appear in the main navigation menu. No data is altered, no code is executed, and no external operations are triggered.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_menu_tree' and description 'Get PS_MENU_TREE configuration - categories displayed in main navigation' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

POLICY

How to control get_menu_tree

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

policy.json

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

get_menu_tree 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 PrestaShop 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.
