What meta_debug_token does on Meta MCP Server

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

Why meta_debug_token needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays information about an existing access token (its type, expiry, permissions, app/user association). It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations. While token inspection could theoretically expose sensitive information, the action itself is a passive read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'meta_debug_token' and description: 'Inspects the current Meta access token to show its type, expiry, permissions, and associated app/user.' The verb 'inspects' and 'show' indicate read-only retrieval of token metadata with no side effects.

How to control meta_debug_token

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

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

meta_debug_token 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 Meta 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.
