Why get_resource_content needs a policy

This tool retrieves existing medical content without modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary operations. While it may access sensitive medical information, the tool itself performs no destructive, financial, or executable actions—it simply fetches and returns data. Severity is low because reading educational content poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_resource_content' and description 'Retrieve complete content for a specific resource' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

How to control get_resource_content

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

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

get_resource_content 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 MedAdapt Content 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.
