AI agents call cort.think.simple as a supporting operation in CoRT MCP Server workflows.
Based on the server description, CoRT tools implement a chain-of-recursive-thoughts methodology for AI reasoning. Sibling tools suggest this is a simplified thinking/reasoning tool with no data modification, execution, or financial implications. With no description, confidence is low, but the pattern strongly suggests a read-only or stateless reasoning operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description is empty and uninformative; tool name 'cort.think.simple' suggests a thinking/reasoning operation with no external side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access cort.think.simple gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and CoRT MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for cort.think.simple:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"cort.think.simple": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "cort.think.simple_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 60,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
} cort.think.simple gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

cort.think.simple. It is categorised as a Other tool in the CoRT MCP Server MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.
Register the CoRT MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cort.think.simple: 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 CoRT MCP Server. Nothing to install.
cort.think.simple is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cort.think.simple 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 cort.think.simple. 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.
cort.think.simple is provided by the CoRT MCP Server MCP server (kunihiros/cort-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from CoRT MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
