WHAT IT DOES

What format_mcp_request does on Cocos

AI agents call format_mcp_request as a supporting operation in Cocos workflows.

RISK

Why format_mcp_request is rated Low

This tool appears to format/prepare an MCP request with JSON escaping - it's a utility/helper function that structures data rather than reading, writing, executing, or destructively modifying anything. It doesn't retrieve data, create/modify persistent state, run code, delete data, or move money. It's purely a formatting/serialization utility.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs format_mcp_request safely

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

format_mcp_request Rate-limited

format_mcp_request gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
