Why oss_download needs a policy

This tool retrieves data from Alibaba Cloud OSS storage to a local path. It has no side effects on the remote data—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. It is a straightforward read operation that retrieves an object. The requirement to call 'oss_env_init' first does not change the nature of the operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'oss_download' and description states 'Download an object from the specified OSS bucket to the given local path'.

How to control oss_download

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

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

oss_download 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 Wuying AgentBay — 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.
