From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_match_details' with verb 'get' and sibling tools (get_cricket_news, get_cricket_schedule, get_icc_rankings, get_live_commentary, get_live_matches, get_player_stats) that are all data retrieval operations.

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

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
