Why check_environment needs a policy

This tool retrieves status information about the environment (CLI tool availability, media player state, and authentication status). It performs no writes, deletions, executions of external code, or financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since it only returns diagnostic information.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Check[s] neteasecli, mpv, and login status' — purely informational queries about environment state with no modifications or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access check_environment gives an agent:

How to control check_environment

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Netease Music, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for check_environment:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "check_environment": {}
  }
}

check_environment is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Netease Music — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
