What store_audio does on DMCP

AI agents use store_audio to create or update resources in DMCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your DMCP environment.

Medium Risk

Why store_audio needs a policy

This tool writes/stores audio data (fetched from a URL or local path) associated with a game entity. It creates or modifies stored data reversibly, making it a Write operation. Severity is medium because it can fetch from arbitrary URLs or access local file paths, which could be misused to store unexpected content or access sensitive local files.

From the tool's definition Store an audio file for an entity. Provide either a URL to fetch from or a local file path.

How to control store_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 store_audio:

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

store_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.
