Get a second opinion from a Claude model

How to control get_claude_opinion ↓

AI agents invoke get_claude_opinion to trigger actions in Second Opinion MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

This tool executes an external operation by querying a remote Claude model instance. It is not purely a read of stored data — it actively triggers computation on an external AI platform. The blast radius is medium: it could leak sensitive context sent to the query, incur API costs, or be used to chain AI responses in unexpected ways.

From the tool's definition 'Get a second opinion from a Claude model' — triggers an external API call to another AI model/platform

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_claude_opinion gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_claude_opinion": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "get_claude_opinion_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

get_claude_opinion stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Second Opinion MCP — 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.
