THE RISK

Low Risk

Why docs needs a policy

The 'docs' tool purely queries and returns reference material. It is informational only with no ability to modify, delete, execute, or affect system state. This is a classic Read category tool with minimal risk.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves documentation and examples ('Get comprehensive Codehooks.io documentation and examples. Includes complete ChatGPT prompt, setup instructions, code examples, and API reference').

POLICY

How to control docs

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

policy.json

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

docs 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 Codehooks Io MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Enforce policy on every Codehooks Io MCP Server tool call.

Start from Codehooks Io MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
