Why get_artifact needs a policy

This tool retrieves a download URL for an existing artifact, which is a read-only operation. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything; it simply provides access to download a pre-existing artifact. The authentication mechanism ensures proper access control. The blast radius of misuse is limited to unauthorized access to artifacts that may already be accessible through other means in the CI/CD pipeline.

From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states it "Get authenticated download URL for a build artifact" — a retrieval operation with no modification or destructive capability.

How to control get_artifact

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

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

get_artifact 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 Codemagic MCP Server — 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.
