THE RISK

Low Risk

Why kg_analyze needs a policy

The tool appears to perform analysis and querying of captured knowledge graph data. No description indicates it modifies state, executes external operations, deletes data, or moves money. The incomplete description ('Supports:') is a minor weakness, but context from the server and sibling tools strongly suggests read-only analytical operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'kg_analyze' and description indicating it 'Supports' analysis operations without describing any modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

POLICY

How to control kg_analyze

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

policy.json

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

kg_analyze 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 Personal Kg — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
