set_enhanced_volume · Quake Coding Arena MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What set_enhanced_volume does on Quake Coding Arena MCP

AI agents use set_enhanced_volume to create or update resources in Quake Coding Arena MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Quake Coding Arena MCP environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why set_enhanced_volume needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies a user preference (volume setting) without side effects beyond audio configuration. It is reversible—the volume can be changed again or reset. While it affects the user experience, it cannot delete data, execute arbitrary code, or cause financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool modifies system state by setting volume level (0-100), a reversible configuration change to audio output settings.

FAQ

Questions about set_enhanced_volume

What does the set_enhanced_volume tool do? +

🔊 Set enhanced volume for all arena sounds (0-100). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Quake Coding Arena MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on set_enhanced_volume? +

Register the Quake Coding Arena MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_enhanced_volume: 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 Quake Coding Arena MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is set_enhanced_volume? +

set_enhanced_volume is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit set_enhanced_volume? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_enhanced_volume 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.

How do I block set_enhanced_volume completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_enhanced_volume. 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.

What MCP server provides set_enhanced_volume? +

set_enhanced_volume is provided by the Quake Coding Arena MCP server (ripnrip/quake-coding-arena-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
