WHAT IT DOES

What mw_read_load_order does on ModWrench MCP Server

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`gameId`	string	Yes	Canonical game ID (e.g. 'skyrimspecialedition', 'lethalcompany'). Use mw_detect_environment to discover the games on this machine.
`modManager`	string	—	Which mod manager to read from. Default 'auto' — picks the most likely manager for this game's family.
`profileName`	string	—	Profile name. MO2 reads the active profile from ModOrganizer.ini if omitted; r2modman defaults to the first profile alphabetically (typically 'Default').
`instancePath`	string	—	Optional override for MO2's instance path — useful for portable MO2 installs that don't live under %LOCALAPPDATA%/ModOrganizer.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why mw_read_load_order is rated Low

Even though mw_read_load_order only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mw_read_load_order safely

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

mw_read_load_order Allowed

mw_read_load_order is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ModWrench MCP Server, apply this rule, and every mw_read_load_order call is checked against it from then on.

Use when the user says "show/post my load order", "what mods do I have enabled", or "what order are my mods in".
