MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous MCPServe tools

Execute · Critical shell_command This tool directly executes arbitrary shell commands, giving an AI agent full system access to read files, modify system state, launch processes, and perform any operation the host system permits. Execute · High web_scrape Web scraping executes external operations (HTTP requests, HTML parsing) whose effects are argument-dependent and can impact remote systems (bandwidth, rate limiting, legal/policy violations).

2 of MCPServe's 3 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control MCPServe

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCPServe, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Cap read operations

{
  "web_search": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "web_search_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register MCPServe — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
