Why orgo_download_file needs a policy

This tool retrieves data (a signed download URL) without side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The retrieval of file content via a temporary URL is a read-only operation. Severity is low because the blast radius is limited to unauthorized access to files already present on the system; the tool itself performs no destructive or executable actions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] a download URL for a file' and is used to 'retrieve content of a previously-uploaded or exported file'. No modification, deletion, or execution occurs.

How to control orgo_download_file

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

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

orgo_download_file 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 Orgo 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.
