Why get_containers_baselines needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries runtime baseline data for containers. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute commands, delete information, or commit financial actions. It is a read-only operation that fits the 'Read' category. The low severity reflects that baseline data is informational in nature with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_containers_baselines' uses 'get' verb indicating retrieval. Description states 'Get runtime baselines for multiple containers' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

How to control get_containers_baselines

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

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

get_containers_baselines 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 RAD Security — 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.
