WHAT IT DOES

What make_move does on Chess MCP Server

AI agents use make_move to create or update resources in Chess MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Chess MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why make_move is rated Medium

Based on the server context (chess game management) and the tool name 'make_move', this likely submits a player's move, modifying the game state. This is a reversible state change (Write), though chess moves cannot be trivially undone. Confidence is lowered due to the empty description.

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

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs make_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 make_move, this is the rule to start with:

make_move Rate-limited

make_move stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
