MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous CONTAM MCP tools

Execute · High run_contam_case_matrix This tool triggers automated sequential execution of CONTAM simulations across multiple scenarios. Execute · High run_contam_simulation This tool executes external simulation software (CONTAM/ContamX) with user-supplied project files. Execute · High run_contamxpy_cosimulation This is an Execute tool because it triggers external simulation operations (advancing PRJ models, applying adjustments) whose effects depend on provided arguments and cannot be trivially undone during a live co-simulatio Execute · High start_contam_bridge_session This tool launches and controls an external simulation application (ContamX/CONTAM), which executes computational modeling of airflow and contaminant transport.

11 of CONTAM MCP's 22 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control CONTAM MCP

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

Rate limit write operations

{
  "apply_contam_sketchpad_layout": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "apply_contam_sketchpad_layout_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "analyze_contam_text_results": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "analyze_contam_text_results_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 CONTAM MCP — 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.

FAQ

Questions about CONTAM MCP

How do I prevent bulk modifications through CONTAM MCP? +

The CONTAM MCP server has 6 write tools including apply_contam_sketchpad_layout, close_contam_bridge_session, create_contam_case_variant. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach CONTAM MCP.

How many tools does the CONTAM MCP server expose? +

22 tools across 3 categories: Execute, Read, Write. 11 are read-only. 11 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on CONTAM MCP? +

Register the CONTAM MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every CONTAM MCP tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 22 CONTAM MCP tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
