AI agents call license_info to retrieve information from Gamedev without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool queries and displays license status information. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not process payments or financial transactions. It is a straightforward read operation that returns current state information.
From the tool's definition Tool shows/retrieves license tier, unlocked tools, and upgrade URL—pure information retrieval with no data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial transaction.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Show current license tier, what tools and modules are unlocked, and upgrade URL. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gamedev MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Gamedev MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for license_info: 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 Gamedev. Nothing to install.
license_info 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 license_info 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 license_info. 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.
license_info is provided by the Gamedev MCP server (sbenson2/gamedev-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
