Why get_release needs a policy

This tool retrieves information about a specific release without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely a query/fetch operation, making it a Read category tool with low severity since unauthorized access to release information typically has limited blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_release' and description states 'Get a specific release by ID' — both indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

How to control get_release

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

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

get_release 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 Claude TypeScript MCP Servers — 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.
