Assess alignment with human values and ethical principles
AI agents call safety.measure_value_alignment to retrieve information from ContextForge MCP Gateway without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool appears to evaluate or query alignment metrics against predefined ethical frameworks. It retrieves or computes assessments (a Read operation) rather than executing code, modifying data, deleting resources, or moving funds. The severity is low because misuse would typically result in incorrect assessments rather than system compromise or data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'measure_value_alignment' combined with description 'Assess alignment with human values and ethical principles' indicates a read-only assessment or evaluation operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Assess alignment with human values and ethical principles. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for safety.measure_value_alignment: 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 ContextForge MCP Gateway. Nothing to install.
safety.measure_value_alignment 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 safety.measure_value_alignment 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 safety.measure_value_alignment. 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.
safety.measure_value_alignment is provided by the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP server (jrmatherly/mcp-context-forge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
