Why get_audio_data needs a policy

This tool retrieves and returns audio data in base64 format for consumption by the AI agent. It has no side effects on the game state or underlying data—it merely queries and returns existing audio. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: the agent could retrieve audio it shouldn't have access to (information disclosure), but cannot modify game state, execute commands, or cause irreversible damage.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_audio_data' and description 'Get audio with base64 data included (for playback or processing)' indicates retrieval of audio data without modification or deletion.

How to control get_audio_data

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 get_audio_data:

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

get_audio_data 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.
