WHAT IT DOES

What stata_session does on Stata

AI agents call stata_session as a supporting operation in Stata workflows.

THE RISK

Why stata_session needs a policy

This tool manages MCP sessions (list, query, destroy, switch). While 'destroy' could be considered destructive, it destroys a session object/handle rather than user data or files. The primary functions are session lifecycle management - listing, querying, and switching sessions. The blast radius of misuse is low as it affects session state rather than actual Stata data or analysis results.

POLICY

How to control stata_session

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_session:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "stata_session": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "stata_session_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

stata_session gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Stata — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about stata_session

What does the stata_session tool do? +

管理 Stata MCP session：列出、查询、销毁、切换最近 session。session_id 代表同一复现任务/同一个 Stata GUI，并关联 entry/source/current do、每个 do 的 log_paths 和 last_log_path。. It is categorised as a Other tool in the Stata MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.

How do I enforce a policy on stata_session? +

Register the Stata MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stata_session: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Stata. Nothing to install.

What risk level is stata_session? +

stata_session is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit stata_session? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the stata_session rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block stata_session completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for stata_session. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides stata_session? +

stata_session is provided by the Stata MCP server (shichengg/stata-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Stata tool call.

Start from Stata, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
