Why get_knowledge needs a policy

The tool retrieves existing knowledge entity details from the WeKnora knowledge management system. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The action is passive information retrieval with no blast radius if misused by an AI agent—at worst, it returns data the agent already has access to.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_knowledge' with description 'Get knowledge details' indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects. This is a standard read/query pattern.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_knowledge gives an agent:

How to control get_knowledge

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

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

get_knowledge 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 WeKnora MCP Server — 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.
