office_thermostat_control

THE RISK

High Risk

This tool executes an external action (adjusting a physical or simulated thermostat) based on user-supplied arguments. Even in the satirical/simulated context, it fits the Execute category as it triggers an environmental change. The 'secretly' qualifier slightly raises severity since it implies the action is hidden from others.

From the tool's definition 'Secretly adjust the office temperature to your preference' — triggers an external operation (thermostat control) whose effect depends on the supplied temperature argument

HOW TO CONTROL OFFICE_THERMOSTAT_CONTROL

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Hilanet MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for office_thermostat_control:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "office_thermostat_control": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "office_thermostat_control_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

office_thermostat_control 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.

Create a free account and register Hilanet MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
