Why get_bridge_status needs a policy

This tool retrieves status information about a bridge connection, which is a read-only operation. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code, and does not delete or move resources. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an agent querying connection status poses negligible risk.

How to control get_bridge_status

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

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

get_bridge_status 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 Threlte — 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.
