Low Risk

Why suggest_solutions needs a policy

Without a description, confidence is moderate. The name 'suggest' implies providing information rather than executing actions or modifying state. In the context of an incident management platform (Rootly), suggesting solutions would typically be a read-only operation that queries existing incidents and knowledge to generate output, with no side effects on the system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'suggest_solutions' with empty description provides no explicit indication of data modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations.

How to control suggest_solutions

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

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

suggest_solutions 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 Rootly — 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.
