Why connect_to_remote needs a policy

The name suggests establishing a remote connection, which could be Read-level (e.g., just opening a session) or Execute-level (triggering external operations). However, with no description to confirm behavior, and given the server context of Wwise Authoring API operations, it likely initiates a network connection to a remote Wwise instance. Without further evidence, confidence is low.

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

POLICY

How to control connect_to_remote

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "connect_to_remote": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "connect_to_remote_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Create a free account and register SK Wwise MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
