AI agents call list_locations to retrieve information from Sapo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_locations needs a policy

This tool retrieves store location data (warehouses, retail counters) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is purely informational and supports downstream queries. The undocumented status and potential schema changes do not elevate the risk category, only reduce confidence marginally.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_locations' and description states 'List all store locations' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. The stated use case is to 'filter inventory queries per location', which is read-only.

How to control list_locations

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 list_locations:

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

list_locations 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 Sapo — 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.
