THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get-recordings needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries existing meeting recording data. There are no side effects, no data modification, and no execution of external operations. It is purely informational access, fitting the 'Read' category. Severity is low because unauthorized access to meeting recordings, while potentially sensitive, does not directly enable destructive or financial harm through the tool itself.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get-recordings' and description states 'List meeting recordings' — a retrieval operation with no modification.

POLICY

How to control get-recordings

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get-recordings": {}
  }
}

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

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