Why debug_accounts needs a policy

This tool queries and displays account information for diagnostic purposes. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves data about accounts (types and subtypes) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any transactional changes. Even though it accesses financial system data (Wave Accounting), the action itself is purely informational retrieval, making it a Read category tool with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'debug_accounts' and description states 'List ALL accounts' - a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

How to control debug_accounts

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

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

debug_accounts 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 Wave Accounting MCP Server — 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.
