What get_order does on Paper MCP Server

Why get_order needs a policy

This tool retrieves existing order information by identifier. It performs no modifications, deletions, executions, or financial transactions—merely querying and returning data about an order that already exists. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius: misuse would at worst expose order details the user already has access to, with no capability to alter state or commit financial actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_order' and description 'Get order details by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The description explicitly uses the verb 'Get', which is a read-only query action.

How to control get_order

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

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

get_order 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 Paper 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.
