Why get_invoice needs a policy

This tool queries financial/billing data but does not modify, delete, or execute transactions. It is a read operation on sensitive financial records. While it accesses financial information (justifying medium severity due to sensitive data exposure), it does not move money or create financial obligations, so it does not qualify as Financial category.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_invoice' and description states it retrieves 'a specific invoice', indicating data retrieval without modification.

How to control get_invoice

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

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

get_invoice 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 Linode 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.
