Why get_module_detail needs a policy

This tool retrieves details about modules from the local-first index. No evidence suggests it modifies data, executes code, deletes content, or moves money. It functions as a targeted query/retrieval mechanism similar to other read-only tools on the ContextCore server. The main risk is information disclosure (low severity), which is typical for read operations over indexed local files.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_module_detail' combined with server context showing tools like 'get_file_content', 'get_codebase_context', and 'fetch_content' that retrieve indexed data.

How to control get_module_detail

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

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

get_module_detail 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 ContextCore — 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.
