What render_report does on Iconsult MCP

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

Why render_report needs a policy

The tool retrieves and formats existing structured data into an HTML report for presentation. This is a read operation: it does not create, modify, or delete data; does not execute arbitrary code or shell commands; and does not move money or irreversibly change state. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—worst case is disclosure of information already accessible to the agent or rendering errors.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'render_report' performs server-side HTML report rendering that 'pulls structured data' — a read operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external code.

How to control render_report

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

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

render_report 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 Iconsult 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.
