Why get_identity_details needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries identity information from a Kubernetes cluster without creating, modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is purely a read operation that provides security visibility into cluster identities, consistent with other similar tools on the server (get_cluster_details, get_container_details). The blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_identity_details' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific identity in a Kubernetes cluster' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or execution capabilities.

POLICY

How to control get_identity_details

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_identity_details:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_identity_details": {}
  }
}

get_identity_details 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 RAD Security — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
