Why get_ip_whitelist needs a policy

This tool retrieves/queries existing security configuration data (IP whitelist) without creating, modifying, or deleting any resources. It is a read-only operation with minimal blast radius if misused—an attacker learning which IPs are whitelisted could inform social engineering or reconnaissance, but cannot directly compromise systems or access restricted resources.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_ip_whitelist' and description 'Get the IP whitelist for a user' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

How to control get_ip_whitelist

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_ip_whitelist:

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

get_ip_whitelist 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.
