Decrypt ciphertext using Caesar cipher with known shift.
AI agents call caesar_decrypt to retrieve information from Crypto Tools MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a classical Caesar cipher decryption, which is a read/transform operation that takes input ciphertext and returns plaintext. It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, and does not execute code. Caesar cipher is a trivially weak classical cipher, so misuse potential is minimal. Classified as Read since it merely transforms/retrieves information from an input.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Decrypt ciphertext using Caesar cipher with known shift. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Crypto Tools MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Crypto Tools MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for caesar_decrypt: 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 Crypto Tools MCP Server. Nothing to install.
caesar_decrypt 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 caesar_decrypt 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 caesar_decrypt. 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.
caesar_decrypt is provided by the Crypto Tools MCP Server MCP server (marc-shade/crypto-tools-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
