THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_selected_users needs a policy

This tool queries application state (selected users in a UI data table) and returns data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure Read operation. Severity is low because exposure of user selection state in memory has minimal blast radius compared to financial, destructive, or code execution risks.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_selected_users' and description states it 'Get the list of currently selected users in the data table' — this is a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

POLICY

How to control get_selected_users

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

policy.json

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

get_selected_users 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 React Tools — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
