Why ros2_medkit_list_executions needs a policy

The tool retrieves and displays execution history metadata, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. It enables discovery of execution records but does not create, modify, delete, or trigger any operations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing this tool would only gain visibility into past execution records, which is informational only.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List all executions for an operation. Use to see execution history and find execution IDs.' This is a retrieval operation that queries historical data without modifying or executing anything.

How to control ros2_medkit_list_executions

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ros2 Medkit, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for ros2_medkit_list_executions:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ros2_medkit_list_executions": {}
  }
}

ros2_medkit_list_executions 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 Ros2 Medkit — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
