Why get_current_model needs a policy

This tool only retrieves information about which model is currently loaded. It performs no writes, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only learn which model is active, with no ability to change state or access sensitive data beyond that configuration detail.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_current_model' and description 'Get the currently loaded llama.cpp model' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves current state without modification or side effects.

How to control get_current_model

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

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

get_current_model 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 Llama Swap — 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.
