aes_decrypt

What aes_decrypt does on Crypto_MCP

AI agents call aes_decrypt to retrieve information from Crypto_MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why aes_decrypt is rated Low

Decryption is a read operation that transforms encrypted data into plaintext form without side effects on the data itself. While decryption enables access to sensitive information, the tool itself performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The severity is low because misuse primarily risks information disclosure rather than system compromise, data loss, or financial harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'aes_decrypt' and description 'decrypt text with aes' indicate a decryption operation that retrieves/queries data without modifying or deleting it.

The rule that runs aes_decrypt safely

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

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "aes_decrypt": {}
  }
}
