Why get_emergency_contacts needs a policy

This tool retrieves publicly available emergency contact information from the university's database. It performs a query operation with no side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since emergency contact numbers are typically public information meant to be widely accessible. This clearly falls under the Read category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_emergency_contacts' and description 'Get emergency contact numbers for the university' indicate a read-only retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

POLICY

How to control get_emergency_contacts

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_emergency_contacts": {}
  }
}

get_emergency_contacts is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register UAAR University MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
