THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_app_settings needs a policy

This tool only reads and retrieves configuration metadata from a FlutterFlow project. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, delete resources, or commit financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could learn app configuration details but cannot alter system behavior or data. Classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_app_settings' with description stating it retrieves ('Get') app configuration data: Authentication settings, Push Notifications, Mobile Deployment info, Web Deployment settings, and SEO metadata.

POLICY

How to control get_app_settings

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

policy.json

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

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