Why get_session needs a policy

This tool retrieves session information. It performs a lookup/query operation on existing data with no modifications, deletions, or external execution. This is a straightforward Read category risk with minimal severity since it only exposes existing session metadata. Confidence is high due to clear naming and description conventions indicating a simple getter function.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_session' and description 'Get session details' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' is a classic Read operation that queries and returns data about an existing session without modifying or executing anything.

How to control get_session

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_session:

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

get_session 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.
