What voice_registry does on Voice Mode

AI agents call voice_registry to retrieve information from Voice Mode without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why voice_registry needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays configuration and status information about voice providers without making any changes to system state or triggering any actions. It is purely informational, similar to list or query operations. The blast radius of misuse is negligible—an attacker gains only visibility into what voice services are configured.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Get[s] the current voice provider registry' and 'Returns a formatted view' of available endpoints, models, and voices.

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

How to control voice_registry

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

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

voice_registry 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 Voice Mode — 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.
