What asset_list does on Money Manager MCP Server

Why asset_list needs a policy

The tool only queries and returns existing asset data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. Despite the financial domain context, asset_list is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius if called repeatedly or with unexpected arguments. The worst outcome would be retrieving data the agent shouldn't access, not causing financial loss or data destruction.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Retrieves all assets in a hierarchical structure' — a pure query operation with no side effects. The verb 'retrieves' and the read-only nature confirm this is a data retrieval function.

How to control asset_list

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

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

asset_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 Money Manager 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.
