What search_spritetypes does on OSRS MCP Server

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

Low Risk

Why search_spritetypes needs a policy

This tool retrieves sprite image definition data from a configuration file without side effects. It matches the Read category pattern of querying/searching data. The severity is low because accessing sprite definitions poses minimal security risk—it cannot modify game state, execute code, delete data, or cause financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool searches the spritetypes.txt file for sprite image definitions. No modification, deletion, or execution occurs. The action is a pure query/search operation on static game data files.

How to control search_spritetypes

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_spritetypes:

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

search_spritetypes 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.
