WHAT IT DOES

What engine_move does on Chess MCP Server

AI agents invoke engine_move to trigger actions in Chess MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why engine_move is rated High

Based on context from the server description (Stockfish engine, UCI format moves) and sibling tools, 'engine_move' likely triggers the Stockfish AI engine to calculate and make a move in a chess game. This constitutes an Execute action as it runs an external engine process and modifies game state. Confidence is lowered due to the empty description providing no direct evidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'engine_move' on a Chess MCP Server with sibling tools 'make_move' and 'new_game'. Description is empty.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs engine_move safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Chess MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For engine_move, this is the rule to start with:

engine_move Rate-limited

engine_move stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
