Why get_jama_pick_lists needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only operation that queries and returns pick list data from Jama Connect without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The server is explicitly documented as read-only, and all sibling tools follow the same retrieval pattern (get_* naming convention).

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Retrieves all pick lists from Jama Connect' and server is described as 'Read-only MCP server'. The verb 'Retrieves' indicates a query operation with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control get_jama_pick_lists

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_jama_pick_lists": {}
  }
}

get_jama_pick_lists 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 Jama — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
