Validate and load the ASM2d state file written by the estimator MCP.
AI agents call validate_asm2d_state to retrieve information from Aerobic Design MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs data retrieval and validation operations without creating, modifying, or deleting data. 'Validate' implies checking/reading state, and 'load' implies retrieving/importing data. These are read-only operations with no side effects on the system state beyond internal processing.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'validate' and description states it 'Validate and load the ASM2d state file' — core operations are validation (checking) and loading (retrieving) data from an existing file, with no modification of the file itself or execution of external…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Validate and load the ASM2d state file written by the estimator MCP. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Aerobic Design MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Aerobic Design MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for validate_asm2d_state: 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 Aerobic Design MCP Server. Nothing to install.
validate_asm2d_state 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 validate_asm2d_state 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 validate_asm2d_state. 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.
validate_asm2d_state is provided by the Aerobic Design MCP Server MCP server (puran-water/aerobic-design-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
