THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get-brds needs a policy

This tool retrieves business requirement documents without side effects. It is a simple read operation that queries project data and returns information. The low severity reflects that unauthorized access to project documents poses minimal immediate risk compared to write, execute, or destructive operations, though confidentiality concerns may exist depending on document sensitivity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-brds' and description 'Get Business Requirement Documents' indicate retrieval of documents. No modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations are performed. The tool queries and returns document metadata (ID, Title, Description).

POLICY

How to control get-brds

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get-brds": {}
  }
}

get-brds is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Specifai MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
