Why search_place needs a policy

This is a data retrieval tool that searches for place information. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not delete or modify data, and does not involve financial transactions. It falls squarely into the Read category with low severity due to its passive nature and limited blast radius if misused.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_place' and description 'Search place details in a given location' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves information without modifying data or triggering external actions.

How to control search_place

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

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

search_place 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 Voyp 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.
