Medium Risk

Why set_primary_audio needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies metadata (audio assignment) for game entities without deleting data or triggering external code execution. It is a configuration update within the RPG game state management system. While the change could affect user experience, it is easily reversible and has minimal blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Set an audio file as the primary audio for its entity' — this modifies game state by assigning/updating an audio property for an entity, which is a reversible write operation.

How to control set_primary_audio

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 set_primary_audio:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "set_primary_audio": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "set_primary_audio_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

set_primary_audio stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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.
