This tool retrieves and displays help documentation for CLI commands. It is purely informational, performs no modifications or deletions, executes no external operations, and creates no financial obligations. It is a standard Read operation with minimal risk, as help text cannot cause harm when retrieved by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ludus_help' and description 'Get help information for Ludus CLI commands and subcommands' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ludus_help 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 ludus_help:

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

ludus_help 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.
