Why login needs a policy

The tool name 'login' suggests an authentication action, but the description is entirely empty, providing no details about what it does, what data it accesses, or what side effects it may have. Authentication could involve writing session tokens, reading credentials, or executing external auth flows. Without more information, it cannot be confidently placed in a more specific category.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'login'; description is empty or uninformative.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access login gives an agent:

How to control login

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Neptune MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for login:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "login": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "login_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

login gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Neptune MCP Server — 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.
