AI agents call generate-ai-response to retrieve information from Defcon without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads the current game state and generates a prompt/text for an AI model. It does not issue commands, move units, or modify game state — it only produces a textual output based on existing data. The severity is low as misuse would only result in a poorly constructed prompt, not any game-affecting action.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Generates a prompt for an AI model based on the current game state. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Defcon MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Defcon MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate-ai-response: 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 Defcon. Nothing to install.
generate-ai-response 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 generate-ai-response 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 generate-ai-response. 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.
generate-ai-response is provided by the Defcon MCP server (jorisvddonk/defcon-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
