Why stata_read_dofile needs a policy

This tool retrieves and returns the contents of a Stata do-file for inspection and analysis. It performs a query operation with no side effects on data or system state. While the server context involves code execution capabilities (stata_run, stata_run_dofile), this specific tool is confined to read-only access to file contents.

From the tool's definition Tool description states '读取 do 文件内容' (read do file content) and 'returns to Claude for checking, explanation or modification'. The verb is explicitly 'read' with no mutation or execution semantics.

How to control stata_read_dofile

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_read_dofile:

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

stata_read_dofile 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.
