WHAT IT DOES

What get_story does on Integrations MCP

RECOMMENDED RULE

get_story Allowed

get_story is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

    "get_story": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Integrations MCP, apply this rule, and every get_story call is checked against it from then on.
