Why get_client needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays existing client information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure query operation with no blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as it only reads data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_client' and description 'Show key details for a specific client' indicates a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_client gives an agent:

How to control get_client

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

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

get_client 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 Mcp Mifosx — 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.
