Why pmpt_history needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays version history records—a passive query operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute changes. It fits the Read category: retrieves or queries data with no side effects. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if an AI agent misuses it, as viewing history cannot harm data or systems.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'pmpt_history' and description 'View version history of pmpt snapshots' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves historical data without modification or side effects.

How to control pmpt_history

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

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

pmpt_history 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 Pmpt — 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.
