Why gateway_optimization_recommendations needs a policy

This tool queries and analyzes the state of gateways and connections to provide optimization recommendations and health checks. It retrieves diagnostic information about availability and status but does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The scanning and recommendation capabilities are read-only analytical operations typical of monitoring and health-check tools.

From the tool's definition Tool performs a 'LIVE SCAN' that 'scans all gateways and connections' with rules covering 'availability (online status, connectivity)'.

POLICY

How to control gateway_optimization_recommendations

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

policy.json

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

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

FAQ

Questions about gateway_optimization_recommendations

What does the gateway_optimization_recommendations tool do? +

LIVE SCAN: Scans all gateways and connections with 12 rules covering availability (online status, connectivity),. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Force Fabric MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on gateway_optimization_recommendations? +

Register the Force Fabric MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gateway_optimization_recommendations: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Force Fabric MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is gateway_optimization_recommendations? +

gateway_optimization_recommendations is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit gateway_optimization_recommendations? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gateway_optimization_recommendations rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block gateway_optimization_recommendations completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for gateway_optimization_recommendations. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides gateway_optimization_recommendations? +

gateway_optimization_recommendations is provided by the Force Fabric MCP Server MCP server (tmdaidevs/force-fabric-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Force Fabric MCP Server tool call.

Start from Force Fabric MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
