Why get_model_providers needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only operation to enumerate available model providers. It has no side effects, makes no modifications, and poses minimal risk. Even if an AI agent calls it repeatedly or with unexpected arguments, the worst outcome is retrieving the same list multiple times, which is harmless.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_model_providers' and description 'List available model providers' indicate a query operation that retrieves configuration or status information without modifying state.

How to control get_model_providers

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

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

get_model_providers 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 Msty Admin MCP — 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.
