Format JSON with proper indentation
AI agents call format_json to retrieve information from Enhanced MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Formatting JSON is a pure transformation of in-memory data with no side effects. It reads input data and returns a reformatted version without writing, executing, or deleting anything.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Format JSON with proper indentation. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Enhanced MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Enhanced MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for format_json: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Enhanced MCP Server. Nothing to install.
format_json is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the format_json rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for format_json. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
format_json is provided by the Enhanced MCP Server MCP server (jacobcdsmith/mcp-commander-console). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
