Remap a Fabric mod JAR from intermediary mappings to human-readable mappings. Useful for reading mod source code. Supports both WSL (/mnt/c/...) and Windows (C:\\...) paths.
AI agents invoke remap_mod_jar to trigger actions in Minecraft Dev MCP. 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.
This tool processes a JAR file and transforms its bytecode/mappings, which constitutes executing a transformation operation on a file. It reads a JAR and produces a remapped output, triggering an external build/processing operation. It's not purely read (it produces output files), not destructive (it doesn't delete), and not write in the simple sense — it executes a remapping tool/process against a file.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access remap_mod_jar gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Minecraft Dev MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for remap_mod_jar:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"remap_mod_jar": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "remap_mod_jar_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
} remap_mod_jar 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.

Remap a Fabric mod JAR from intermediary mappings to human-readable mappings. Useful for reading mod source code. Supports both WSL (/mnt/c/...) and Windows (C:\\...) paths. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Minecraft Dev MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Minecraft Dev MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remap_mod_jar: 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 Minecraft Dev MCP. Nothing to install.
remap_mod_jar 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 remap_mod_jar 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 remap_mod_jar. 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.
remap_mod_jar is provided by the Minecraft Dev MCP server (mcdxai/minecraft-dev-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Minecraft Dev MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
