WHAT IT DOES

What resource_allocator does on ContextForge MCP Gateway

AI agents call resource_allocator to retrieve information from ContextForge MCP Gateway without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why resource_allocator is rated Low

The description says 'Report resource allocation variance', which suggests a read/query operation that fetches and presents variance data. No write, execute, or destructive semantics are indicated. Confidence is moderate because the description is brief and the tool name 'resource_allocator' could imply allocation actions, but the description text overrides that with a reporting framing.

From the tool's definition 'Report resource allocation variance' — the word 'Report' implies retrieval/display of information about allocation variance, not modification.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs resource_allocator safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ContextForge MCP Gateway, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For resource_allocator, this is the rule to start with:

resource_allocator Allowed

resource_allocator is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "resource_allocator": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ContextForge MCP Gateway, apply this rule, and every resource_allocator call is checked against it from then on.
