THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_steam_recent_games needs a policy

This tool queries public or personal Steam gaming history data and returns it without any side effects. It fits the Read category as a data retrieval operation. Severity is low because the information exposed (game play history) is typically non-sensitive personal data that the user has chosen to store on Steam, and exposure causes no operational harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name begins with 'get_' and description indicates it retrieves recently played games. No modification, deletion, or execution of code/commands is implied. The action is purely informational retrieval from a Steam profile.

POLICY

How to control get_steam_recent_games

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_steam_recent_games": {}
  }
}

get_steam_recent_games is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Mcp Me — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
