Why meta_get_posts needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries existing data from a Facebook Page feed without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any external operations. It returns post metadata (message, permalink, created time, post ID) with pagination support via cursor. The only parameters are page_id, limit, and an optional cursor for pagination—all read-only query parameters.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'meta_get_posts' and description states it 'Lists posts from a Facebook Page feed', which is a retrieval operation with no side effects.

How to control meta_get_posts

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_get_posts:

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

meta_get_posts 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.
