WHAT IT DOES

What diagnose_pega_config does on Pega DX MCP Server

AI agents call diagnose_pega_config to retrieve information from Pega DX MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why diagnose_pega_config needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays configuration and environment variable information for troubleshooting purposes. It performs no mutations, does not execute arbitrary code, and does not affect system state. The emphasis on not exposing secrets indicates read-only diagnostic output. This is a classic Read operation: it fetches information for inspection.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'diagnose[s]' and 'shows what configuration' without indicating any modification, deletion, or execution of code.

POLICY

How to control diagnose_pega_config

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "diagnose_pega_config": {}
  }
}

diagnose_pega_config is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Pega DX MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
