What zurich_datastore_sql does on Zurich Open Data MCP Server

Why zurich_datastore_sql needs a policy

From the tool's definition 'Führt eine SQL-Abfrage auf dem CKAN DataStore aus' — executes an SQL query on the CKAN DataStore

How to control zurich_datastore_sql

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "zurich_datastore_sql": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "zurich_datastore_sql_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

zurich_datastore_sql stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Zurich Open Data 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.
