Why intel_cross_correlate needs a policy

This tool queries and correlates existing intelligence data across multiple domains to surface relationships and patterns. It performs no writes, does not execute code or commands, makes no financial transactions, and does not delete or modify data. The capability is purely analytical—retrieving and organizing threat intelligence to reveal cross-domain connections.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'finds related signals', 'groups them by category', and 'shows how events ripple across domains' — all passive correlation and aggregation operations with no modification, deletion, or execution of external commands.

How to control intel_cross_correlate

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

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

intel_cross_correlate 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 Threat Intelligence 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.
