How to control search_roms ↓

AI agents call search_roms to retrieve information from Romulus 31780 without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
query string
system string

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Low Risk

Even though search_roms only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Risk signalsAccepts freeform code/query input (query)

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

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Romulus 31780, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_roms:

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

search_roms 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 Romulus 31780 — 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.
