Why get_user needs a policy

This tool fetches user profile information for an already-authenticated session. It performs a read-only query operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any code. The operation is informational and has minimal blast radius even if misused by an agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_user' and description 'Retrieves information related to the currently authenticated User' clearly indicate data retrieval with no modifications or side effects.

POLICY

How to control get_user

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_user": {}
  }
}

get_user is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
