Mark a policy as MCP-wide

Promotes a policy to run on every MCP consumer of the gateway and on the MCP Store, narrowed by its mcp_scope (groups, except_groups, registries, tools); a null mcp_scope means every MCP caller. It never runs on LLM or A2A consumers. Promoting clears global and removes the policy’s consumer links in the same write; while the flag is set a consumer cannot be attached (422). The policy takes the all-consumers levels of its scope, the ones a global policy of that scope takes, so it answers 409 when another policy of the same plugin already holds one of them, global ones included. A policy that changed while it was being promoted also answers 409: reload it and retry. A retry that finds the policy already MCP-wide answers 200 with the policy as stored. A plugin without MCP support answers 422. Plugin state such as rate-limit counters is shared gateway-wide, as for a global policy. The response may carry non-blocking warnings.

mcp_wide · boolean

MCPWide marks a policy that runs on every MCP consumer of the gateway and on the MCP Store, narrowed by its mcp_scope. It is never true together with Global, and an MCP-wide policy has no consumer_ids.

slug · string

stages · string[]

status · enum<string>

Status is "active" (enabled and running), "paused" (disabled) or "error" (enabled but the gateway cannot run it; see status_message).

Available options: active, paused, error

status_message · string

StatusMessage is the reason the gateway cannot run the policy. It is present only when status is "error".

updated_at · string

warnings · string[]

Warnings are non-blocking notes about the write that just succeeded, such as a consumer that already runs the same plugin without scope.
