Why get_switch_list needs a policy

This tool queries or lists Sakura Cloud switches and returns information. It performs a read-only operation with no data modification, deletion, or command execution. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—retrieving infrastructure metadata poses limited risk compared to modification or destructive operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_switch_list', which follows the 'get_' prefix pattern indicating data retrieval. Sibling tools include 'get_archive_list', confirming this server uses 'get_' consistently for read operations.

How to control get_switch_list

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

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

get_switch_list 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 Sacloud — 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.
