Why get_question needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries data from the Qualtrics platform without side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—at worst, an agent could retrieve question definitions it should not have access to, which is a data confidentiality issue rather than a destructive or operational risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_question' and description 'Get the full definition of a specific question' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.

How to control get_question

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

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

get_question 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 Qualtrics 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.
