Get gyro and D-term filter settings (lowpass, notch filters)
AI agents call get_filter_config to retrieve information from Betaflight MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries existing filter configuration parameters from the drone flight controller. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves data about gyro and D-term filter settings without making any changes, executing code, or producing side effects. The action is informational only, making it a Read category tool with low severity since misuse poses minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_filter_config' and description 'Get gyro and D-term filter settings' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification of system state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get gyro and D-term filter settings (lowpass, notch filters). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Betaflight MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Betaflight MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_filter_config: 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 Betaflight MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_filter_config 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 get_filter_config 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 get_filter_config. 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.
get_filter_config is provided by the Betaflight MCP Server MCP server (jir13/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_filter_config is one line of Betaflight MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
