Get an opinion from the default available AI model (automatically selects best available service)

How to control get_default_opinion ↓

AI agents call get_default_opinion to retrieve information from Second Opinion MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool queries external AI services to fetch opinions/feedback. It is purely informational and read-only—no data is created, modified, deleted, or irreversibly changed. The 'automatically selects best available service' phrasing indicates automatic routing logic rather than code execution on the user's system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_default_opinion' and description 'Get an opinion from the default available AI model' indicate querying/retrieving data without modifying state.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_default_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_default_opinion:

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

get_default_opinion 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 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.
