Why find_best_service needs a policy

This is a query/search operation that retrieves and ranks data from a service directory. It has no capability to modify, delete, or execute code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only retrieve information about available API services, which poses no security risk.

From the tool's definition Tool performs search and returns ranked results; no modifications, deletions, or financial transactions. The description uses retrieval language: 'Search for services' and 'return the top results.' No side effects or irreversible actions.

How to control find_best_service

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

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

find_best_service 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 Satring — 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.
