Get the content of the server.properties file of the Minecraft server.
AI agents call get_server_properties to retrieve information from OPanel MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries the server.properties file without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a pure read operation on server configuration. Severity is low because server properties are typically non-sensitive configuration (port, difficulty, gamemode, etc.) that do not grant direct access to player data or execution capabilities. The blast radius of an agent reading this file is minimal.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_server_properties' and description 'Get the content of the server.properties file' indicate retrieval of configuration data with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the content of the server.properties file of the Minecraft server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OPanel MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OPanel MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_server_properties: 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 OPanel MCP. Nothing to install.
get_server_properties 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 get_server_properties 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 get_server_properties. 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.
get_server_properties is provided by the OPanel MCP server (opanel-mc/opanel-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
