THE RISK

Why get_recipes needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays existing recipe information. It performs a query operation (list/get) with no capability to modify, delete, or execute code. The action is read-only and has minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—worst case, an agent could retrieve recipes inappropriately, but no data loss or financial impact would occur.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_recipes' and description 'List saved recipes with ingredients, metadata, and search terms' indicates retrieval of stored data with no modification or side effects.

POLICY

How to control get_recipes

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

policy.json

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

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