AI agents call get_time 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.
This tool only retrieves data (the current in-game time) with no ability to modify game state, execute arbitrary code, or cause irreversible changes. It is a straightforward read operation typical of game state queries, presenting minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_time' and description states 'Get the current in-game time' — a pure query operation that retrieves game state without modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_time gives an agent:
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_time:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_time": {}
}
}get_time is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get the current in-game time. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the D MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_time: 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 DMCP. Nothing to install.
get_time 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_time 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_time. 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_time is provided by the D MCP server (shawnrushefsky/dmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from DMCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
