Why get_inference_usage needs a policy

This tool retrieves usage metrics or statistics related to inference services. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external actions—it merely queries and returns data. Even though the description is absent, the 'get_' prefix and 'usage' noun strongly indicate a read-only retrieval operation with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_inference_usage' indicates retrieval of usage data. The description is empty, but the naming pattern 'get_' is consistent with sibling tools like 'get_instance_details', 'get_domain_info', etc., which are Read operations.

How to control get_inference_usage

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

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

get_inference_usage 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 Vultr MCP — 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.
