Why list_judges needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only operation to enumerate available judges. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not involve financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent can only discover what judges exist, not affect system state or trigger unintended operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_judges' and description 'List all available judges' indicate a retrieval/query operation that returns information about available judges without modifying any state or triggering external operations.

How to control list_judges

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

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

list_judges 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 Root Signals MCP Server — 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.
