Why get_graph_info needs a policy

This tool retrieves information about graph structure (statistics, node/edge counts, etc.) with no side effects. It fits the 'Read' category as it queries data without creating, modifying, or deleting content. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose data already in the graph, not enable destructive or financial harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_graph_info' and description 'Get graph statistics and info' indicate a query operation that retrieves metadata and statistics about an existing graph without modification.

How to control get_graph_info

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

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

get_graph_info 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 Mcp Graph Engine — 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.
