Why list_information_requests needs a policy

This tool retrieves and enumerates existing information requests without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward query operation against portfolio/firm data. Severity is low because listing requests poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent — it exposes existing data but cannot alter state or trigger external actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states it 'List[s] all information requests' — a pure data retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution.

How to control list_information_requests

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

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

list_information_requests 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 Standard Metrics MCP Server — 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.
