Why intel_ucdp_events needs a policy

This tool retrieves historical conflict and violence event data from the UCDP (Uppsala Conflict Data Program) database. It is a read-only query operation with no side effects—it neither modifies data, executes code, deletes records, nor triggers financial transactions. The optional 'days' parameter simply filters the query window.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get state-based violence events from UCDP GED' with optional days parameter. The verb 'Get' and the lack of any modification, deletion, or execution language indicate pure data retrieval.

How to control intel_ucdp_events

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_ucdp_events:

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

intel_ucdp_events 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.
