Why get_top10 needs a policy

The tool performs a lookup/retrieval operation on static security reference data (OWASP Top 10 framework and CWE mappings). It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not trigger external operations. This is a pure data retrieval function appropriate for security education and compliance mapping purposes.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_top10' and description states 'Get OWASP Top 10 2021 items with CWE mappings' — this retrieves reference data about security vulnerabilities without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.

How to control get_top10

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Security Framework, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_top10:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_top10": {}
  }
}

get_top10 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 Security Framework — 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.
