Why get_server_info needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves information about the server's state and metadata without any side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since an agent could only inspect information already available on the system.

From the tool's definition The tool 'returns package metadata, runtime details, tool inventory, and knowledge-catalog coverage' — these are all retrieval operations with no modification, deletion, or execution of external processes. The verb 'returns' indicates passive data querying.

POLICY

How to control get_server_info

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

policy.json

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

get_server_info 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 Minestom 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.
