It fits the Read category: queries/retrieves data without side effects. Low severity because misuse would at worst provide inaccurate guidance, not cause data loss or system compromise.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'supervise_consultation' with description 'Track consultation progress and suggest the next action' — describes monitoring/tracking (read operation) and suggestion generation with no data modification, deletion, or code execution.

How to control supervise_consultation

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 supervise_consultation:

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

supervise_consultation 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.
