THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_location needs a policy

This tool retrieves location data (address, contact info, status) without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a pure read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—an attacker could enumerate locations but cannot alter inventory, orders, or financial data.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get a single location by ID. Returns address, contact info, and active status.' - retrieval operation with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control get_location

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

policy.json

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

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