Perform a soft reset (load empty program)
AI agents invoke ultimate_soft_reset to trigger actions in Commodore 64 Ultimate MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
A soft reset triggers an external hardware operation on the Commodore 64 Ultimate device — it resets the machine and loads an empty program. This is an active execution/control action against physical hardware. While it doesn't permanently destroy data, it interrupts any running program and resets system state, making it an Execute-category action.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ultimate_soft_reset gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Commodore 64 Ultimate MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for ultimate_soft_reset:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"ultimate_soft_reset": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "ultimate_soft_reset_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
} ultimate_soft_reset stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Perform a soft reset (load empty program). It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Commodore 64 Ultimate MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Commodore 64 Ultimate MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ultimate_soft_reset: 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 Commodore 64 Ultimate MCP Server. Nothing to install.
ultimate_soft_reset is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ultimate_soft_reset 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 ultimate_soft_reset. 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.
ultimate_soft_reset is provided by the Commodore 64 Ultimate MCP Server MCP server (martijn-devrev/ultimate64mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Commodore 64 Ultimate MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
