Why get_object needs a policy

This tool retrieves an object from blockchain storage (Recall bucket) with no side effects. It is a read-only operation analogous to a GET request. No data is created, modified, or deleted. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an AI agent retrieving objects cannot cause irreversible harm or financial loss.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_object' and description 'Get an object from a Recall bucket' indicate retrieval of data without modification.

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

How to control get_object

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

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

get_object 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 Recall 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.
