Why cargo-describe-table needs a policy

This tool retrieves and presents structural information about a database table (its field schema) without creating, modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a non-destructive information lookup operation, consistent with the Read category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'cargo-describe-table' and description 'Returns the field schema for a Cargo table' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution. The word 'Returns' confirms a query-like operation that reads schema metadata.

POLICY

How to control cargo-describe-table

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mediawiki Mcp Server Olioex, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for cargo-describe-table:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "cargo-describe-table": {}
  }
}

cargo-describe-table 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 Mediawiki Mcp Server Olioex — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
