Why pmpt_plan_questions needs a policy

This tool fetches/retrieves planning questions to present to the user. It is a read-only operation that returns structured prompts/questions. The instruction to call it 'FIRST' and then later call pmpt_plan confirms it is purely a data-retrieval step with no write, execute, or destructive behavior.

From the tool's definition 'Get the planning questions to ask the user' — retrieves a list of questions; no data modification or side effects described

How to control pmpt_plan_questions

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_plan_questions:

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

pmpt_plan_questions 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.
