What stata_get_results does on Stata

AI agents call stata_get_results to retrieve information from Stata without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Why stata_get_results needs a policy

The tool retrieves result values that have already been computed by prior Stata commands. It displays stored results (r() and e() macros in Stata terminology) without executing new code, modifying data, or triggering side effects. This is a pure data retrieval operation, fitting the Read category. Severity is low because accessing stored numerical or statistical results poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'stata_get_results' and description indicate retrieval of previously computed r() or e() stored results from Stata—a read-only operation that queries existing results without modification, deletion, or code execution.

How to control stata_get_results

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

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

stata_get_results 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 Stata — 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.
