THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_versions needs a policy

This tool performs a simple information retrieval operation. Knowing version numbers poses minimal security risk and cannot be exploited to modify data, execute code, or cause financial harm. The blast radius of misuse is effectively zero.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_versions' and description state it retrieves version information of server components. This is a pure retrieval operation with no side effects—it queries and returns data about component versions without modifying, executing, or deleting…

POLICY

How to control get_versions

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

policy.json

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

get_versions 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 MindManager 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.
