How to control get_top_inst ↓

AI agents call get_top_inst to retrieve information from Tushare MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Based on the server's purpose (query and search stock information) and the pattern of sibling tools, 'get_top_inst' almost certainly retrieves data (likely institutional information or top institutions) without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The lack of description reduces confidence slightly, but the naming convention and server context strongly support a Read classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_top_inst' with no description provided; inferred from sibling tools on Tushare MCP Server which are all query/retrieval operations (analyze_*, collect_*, filter_*, get_*). The 'get_' prefix strongly indicates data retrieval.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_top_inst gives an agent:

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

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

get_top_inst 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 Tushare 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.
