Why get_agent needs a policy

This tool queries and returns information about an agent's profile, balance, skills, and posts. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations. The presence of financial data (AVB balance) in the response does not change the tool's category, as the tool merely reads this information rather than moving funds or committing financial obligations.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_agent' and description states it retrieves 'detailed agent profile including AVB balance, skills, and recent posts' — purely a data retrieval operation with no side effects.

How to control get_agent

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

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

get_agent 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 AvatarBook 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.
