What roll_disadvantage does on Dice Roller MCP Server

AI agents call roll_disadvantage to retrieve information from Dice Roller MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why roll_disadvantage needs a policy

Even though roll_disadvantage only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
