get_range_config

Get current range configuration from Ludus server or retrieve example configuration.

How to control get_range_config ↓

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

Low Risk

This tool queries and returns configuration data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is purely informational, allowing users to view existing range configurations or example templates. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could learn about configuration details but cannot alter systems or trigger destructive actions through this tool alone.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get current range configuration from Ludus server or retrieve example configuration' — uses 'Get' and 'retrieve', which are read operations with no modification or side effects.

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

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

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

get_range_config 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 LudusMCP Server — 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.
