What roll_death_save does on Rpg

AI agents invoke roll_death_save to trigger actions in Rpg. 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.

Why roll_death_save needs a policy

This tool executes a deterministic dice roll mechanic and applies game-state logic (tracking successes/failures, potentially modifying HP). It triggers an external operation (the dice engine) whose result depends on runtime randomness and modifies in-game character state. Confined entirely to a game simulation context, so blast radius is low.

How to control roll_death_save

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "roll_death_save": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "roll_death_save_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

roll_death_save 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Rpg — 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.
