WHAT IT DOES

What check-authorization does on AL Object ID Ninja MCP Server

AI agents call check-authorization to retrieve information from AL Object ID Ninja MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why check-authorization needs a policy

This is a read-only operation that retrieves authorization status information. It has no side effects, does not create, modify, or delete data, and does not execute code or trigger external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only learn whether an app is authorized, which is informational in nature. This fits the 'Read' category as a status check/query operation.

From the tool's definition The tool name 'check-authorization' and description 'Check if an AL app is authorized' indicate a query operation that verifies authorization status without modifying any data or triggering external operations.

POLICY

How to control check-authorization

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AL Object ID Ninja MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for check-authorization:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "check-authorization": {}
  }
}

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