Why Search_Processes_Tool needs a policy

This tool retrieves or queries Life Cycle Assessment process data without side effects. Searching is a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The lack of any language suggesting state changes, execution, or data manipulation supports classification as Read. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access existing LCA process information.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'Search_Processes_Tool' and description 'Search LCA processes data' indicate a query/search operation with no modification or execution of processes.

POLICY

How to control Search_Processes_Tool

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

policy.json

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

Search_Processes_Tool 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 TianGong-LCA-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.
