How to control getBucket ↓

AI agents call getBucket to retrieve information from Tencent Cloud COS MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

The tool queries and retrieves a file listing from cloud storage. It performs no modifications, deletions, or execution of code. This is a read-only operation with minimal risk—listing files is informational with no destructive or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getBucket' with description '查询存储桶内的文件列表' (query/list files in a bucket). This is a list/query operation that retrieves data without side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getBucket gives an agent:

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

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

getBucket 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 Tencent Cloud COS 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.
