What get_modules does on PrestaShop MCP Server

AI agents call get_modules to retrieve information from PrestaShop MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_modules needs a policy

This tool retrieves or queries module information from a PrestaShop store without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing code. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal security risk, as it only exposes existing module metadata that does not require special access controls in typical e-commerce environments.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_modules' and description 'Get PrestaShop modules' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

How to control get_modules

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_modules:

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

get_modules 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 PrestaShop 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.
