Why get_package_details needs a policy

This tool queries PyPI for package metadata and presents information. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. Even though it may return installation instructions, it does not perform the installation itself. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve information, which poses no security risk.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Fetch PyPI details, current version, and installation instructions' — these are read-only operations that retrieve metadata about packages without modifying, creating, or executing anything.

How to control get_package_details

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

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

get_package_details 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 Flet — 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.
