Why query_multimodal needs a policy

Despite the empty description, the tool name and server context strongly suggest this performs read-only queries on multimodal data within the knowledge graph. The server explicitly supports 'multiple query modes' for information retrieval. No evidence of data modification, deletion, execution of arbitrary code, or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'query_multimodal' and sibling tools include 'query_knowledge_graph' and multiple query modes (naive, local, global, hybrid) described in server capabilities.

How to control query_multimodal

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

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

query_multimodal 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 RAG-Anything MCP 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.
