AI agents call get_moves to retrieve information from dexMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves Pokemon move data from the pokedex without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data lookup with no ability to alter state or trigger external actions. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose static game data.
From the tool's definition Tool 'get_moves' lists the learnset for a Pokemon in a specific game. The verb 'list' and the read-only nature of retrieving move data indicates a query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List the learnset for a Pokemon in a specific game. It is categorised as a Read tool in the dexMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the dex MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_moves: 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 dexMCP. Nothing to install.
get_moves 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_moves 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_moves. 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_moves is provided by the dex MCP server (rajeevatla/dexmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
