This tool retrieves and displays random tables from a game state without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects on the game world or data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only view random table definitions, which poses no risk to game integrity or player data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_random_tables' and description 'List random tables in a game' indicate data retrieval without modification. The verb 'list' is a classic read operation that queries and returns information about game random tables.

How to control list_random_tables

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 list_random_tables:

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

list_random_tables 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.
