Why get_tool_schema needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries tool schema information without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a read-only operation that returns metadata about other tools' input requirements. The blast radius is minimal—misuse would only expose schema information already available through normal tool discovery.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_tool_schema' and description 'Get the full inputSchema of a specific tool' indicate retrieval of schema metadata with no side effects.

How to control get_tool_schema

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

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

get_tool_schema 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 Graph Tool Call — 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.
