Pick a random fireplace from the catalog. Useful when you want a surprise. Returns slug, name, mood, and the live URL. Args: (none)
AI agents call fireplace_random to retrieve information from Digital Fireplace without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a simple data retrieval operation that randomly selects and returns information about a fireplace from a static catalog. It has no capability to modify data, execute code, delete resources, or affect external systems. The random selection mechanism does not change the tool's classification—it is still fundamentally a read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool returns fireplace catalog data (slug, name, mood, live URL) without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. Description states it 'returns' information, indicating a retrieval-only operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Pick a random fireplace from the catalog. Useful when you want a surprise. Returns slug, name, mood, and the live URL. Args: (none). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Digital Fireplace MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Digital Fireplace MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for fireplace_random: 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 Digital Fireplace. Nothing to install.
fireplace_random 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 fireplace_random 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 fireplace_random. 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.
fireplace_random is provided by the Digital Fireplace MCP server (mhoydich/digital-fireplace-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
