Why stackchan_face needs a policy

The tool name suggests it controls facial expressions on the Stack-chan robot. Based on the server description mentioning 'facial expressions', this likely sends display/animation commands to a physical robot's face. This is an Execute-level action (triggers external hardware operation), but with an empty description, confidence is low.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'stackchan_face' and empty description; server description mentions 'facial expressions' as one capability

How to control stackchan_face

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "stackchan_face": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "stackchan_face_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

stackchan_face gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Stackchan — 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.
