What build_image_prompt does on DMCP

AI agents call build_image_prompt to retrieve information from DMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why build_image_prompt needs a policy

This tool constructs/generates a prompt string from game entity data. It reads entity information and produces a text prompt as output. No data is modified, deleted, or executed — it's a read/transform operation with no side effects.

How to control build_image_prompt

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "build_image_prompt": {}
  }
}

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

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