Why get_restaurants needs a policy

The tool retrieves and displays restaurant information (rating, distance, minBasketPrice, averageDeliveryInterval) based on a selected address. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code or commands, and does not process payments. This is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only returns informational data about available restaurants.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_restaurants' and description states 'List restaurants near a location.' This is a retrieval operation that queries and returns restaurant data without modifying, executing external operations, or committing financial obligations.

How to control get_restaurants

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_restaurants:

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

get_restaurants 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.
