Why search_soundtypes needs a policy

This tool retrieves or queries sound effect data from a static game definition file. It performs a read-only lookup operation comparable to other sibling tools like osrs_wiki_search and search_data_file. There are no indications of write, delete, execute, or financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only retrieve sound data, not modify, execute, or damage anything.

From the tool's definition Tool searches (queries) soundtypes.txt file for sound effect definitions. The verb 'search' combined with 'for definitions' indicates data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

How to control search_soundtypes

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_soundtypes": {}
  }
}

search_soundtypes is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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