Why get_basket needs a policy

This tool only retrieves and queries the current state of a shopping cart. It does not create, modify, delete, execute commands, or involve financial transactions. It is purely informational and has no blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as it cannot cause harm—it only returns data already owned by the user.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_basket' and description is 'Get current cart contents'. The verb 'Get' and the action of retrieving cart contents indicates a read-only operation with no modifications or side effects.

How to control get_basket

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Food402, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_basket:

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

get_basket 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 Food402 — 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.
