Why parse_sitemap_content needs a policy

This tool parses provided sitemap content (XML or text) and returns structured data. It operates on input supplied by the caller, produces no external writes, deletions, or executions, and has no financial impact. It is a pure read/parse operation.

From the tool's definition 'Parse a sitemap directly from its XML or text content' — parsing/reading provided content with no side effects

POLICY

How to control parse_sitemap_content

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

policy.json

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

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